FAQ
Michigan generally prohibits any person from carrying a handgun concealed on or about his or her person without a concealed handgun license, other than at his or her own residence, on his or her own land, or at his or her place of business.
In addition, because ghost guns do not have a serial number, they cannot be traced when they are used to commit a crime, preventing law enforcement from effectively investigating violent crimes. Ghost guns are the fastest-growing gun safety problem facing our country.
Can you transfer gun ownership in Michigan? Transferring a firearm means one person transferring ownership to another. You must have an FFL (Federal Firearms License) before you can transfer guns and ammunition interstate or intrastate. Gun stores like ours have an FFL and can assist you with purchases.
Carrying an unregistered firearm on a person or in a vehicle is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison or a $2,500 fine in Michigan.
Guns in Vehicles in Michigan Generally, a person may not transport or have in their possession a firearm in or upon a vehicle, unless the firearm is unloaded and the gun is enclosed in a case, unloaded and carried in the trunk of a vehicle, or unloaded in a motorized boat.
Many guns have no serial number at all (serial numbers were not required in the US until 1968, and are still not required everywhere).
If the firearm has no serial number, and never had a serial number, the lack of a serial number renders the firearm illegal. Except a non-NFA home manufacture that you have no intent to sell, which we will explain later. Suppose there is a firearm which was manufactured POST October 22, 1968.
Possession of an unregistered firearm is also covered by federal laws and can also be charged as a federal offense. 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d) provides that it is a crime for a person to receive or possess a firearm not registered to them in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
