I understand this may only be directed to a minority of THR users and nothing in this post should be used as legal advice. So, with that said, I ask for someone who is smarter than me to please explain the new Universal background check system that has been recently signed into Michigan State Law as it pertains to private transfers and CPL holders. After reading the bill, it looks like FFL transfers remain unchanged (as verified by some ffl buddies). In regard to private sales, it would appear that non CPL holders are required go to the county clerk/sheriff's office to submit to a NICS check and obtain a notorized purchase permit for any private-party purchase of a legally defined pistol (no change from before), shotgun, any-other-weapon (like a Shockwave), or rifle. This is to be used within 30 days of it's aquisition or a new one will have to be acquired. If purchasing a pistol, it would appear an RI-060 still needs to be filled and turned into the local sheriff's office (or county clerk or MSP depending on your county) like it always has. From what I read (and where I need further clarification), it would appear that a CPL still acts as a defacto purchase permit for private party transfers. Does this look correct to anyone else who has read the new law? It looked to have some new verbiage regarding "antique" firearms as well as tasers. Does anyone know how this will affect the sale/transfer of muzzle loaders and EMDDs?
