I seen someone mention wanting these to cease in another post. Well it is going to happen. I copied this off a web site and I would like to find it on the state of michigan web site but I don't know how. If anyone finds it please through up a link in your post. I would just like to verify this info as correct.
[align=left]Safety Inspection for Pistols changes in Michigan take effect[/align]
[align=left]January, 7th 2009.[/align]
[align=left]The so-called "safety inspection" is eliminated. The seller of a pistol shall immediately record the sale on a 4-part (quadruplicate) form provided by the Department of State Police, which the purchaser shall sign. One copy is kept by the seller. One copy is kept by purchaser. Two copies are sent to the police department or county sheriff within 10 days. The forms can be hand-delivered or sent by first-class or certified mail (I recommend certified and hang onto your receipts.) Failure to comply with this rule is civil infraction punishable by a fine of $250 maximum. Violations will also be reported to the state police and the county gun board. The police agency will forward one copy to the state police within 48 hours, and keep the other for at least 6 years. The state police will enter the information into the computer data base within 10 days of receiving it. The purchaser has a right to get a copy of the information that is entered to verify the accuracy of the information. The police or sheriff's department can charge a fee of $1.00 maximum for the copy. The purchaser has to keep his/her copy of the form while carrying or using the pistol for the first 30 days after purchase. After that time, the form need not be carried.[/align]
This law takes effect January 7th, 2009. Public Acts No. 194, 195, 196
