State Attorney General Mike Cox Announcement ***
Michigan State Attorney General Mike Cox is pleased to announce
that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
has approved AG Cox's request to allow the Michigan Concealed
Pistol License as an alternative to the NICS check when purchasing
a firearm from an FFL dealer using the ATF Form 4473. This
ruling becomes effective on Friday, March 24, 2006. Please
note that "Temporary Licenses" will NOT be considered
an alternative to the NICS check. In addition, this will only
apply to CPL licenses that were issued after November 22,
2005, the date when the new procedural law for background
checks on CPL licenses took effect (HB 4978 or Public Act
242 of 2005). It should also be noted that this alternative
to the NICS check is not just limited to handgun purchases,
but applies to long gun purchases as well!
