According to MCL 28.425a (9):

(9) The legislative service bureau shall compile the firearms laws of this state, including laws that apply to carrying a concealed pistol, and shall provide copies of the compilation to each concealed weapon licensing board in this state for distribution under this subsection. A concealed weapon licensing board shall distribute a copy of the compilation to each individual who applies for a license to carry a concealed pistol at the time the application is submitted. The concealed weapon licensing board shall require the applicant to sign a written statement acknowledging that he or she has received a copy of the compilation. An individual is not eligible to receive a license to carry a concealed pistol until he or she has signed the statement.

Anyone know where I can find a copy of this Compilation of the Firearms Law of the State of Michigan? I tried http://www.michigan.gov/ag/0,1607,7-164-17334_17362_22672---,00.html and clicked the Compilation of all state firearm laws link, but all I got was:

Every other link I click on that page works fine and I have never seen this particular error message previously.
So, if anyone has a pdf of it, please share.
Thanks.

Thanks Bronson.

I noticed that the "Firearms Laws of Michigan" link you gave was the NEW update, dated March 2009. The old one was 2005, as I recall. Anyone having the "old" version should update.

Big Brother doesn't want you to click that, my man. Don't worry though... I tried it too and it seems he's got us both on the same list.

:-D

For real though... the Michigan site has been a little quirky lately. I've come across a few links that are similarly inoperable.

I think mine was from 2007, but I'm not entirely sure.

They dated it March, due to the changes that happened in January.

Last I looked (3 weeks or so ago) the local PD had the old version in print, still, and were handing that out with the CPL packets.
