I am curious if I have to have my CPL license with me every time I am carrying concealed or in the car?
Could I loose my CPL, for not actually having it even if I disclose verbally?


Also, what about drivers license for that matter. If you are a legal registered driver and are driving, but don't have your license on you, what would be the penalty.

Thanks

for driving, it's a drivers responsibility fine, which is two easy payments of 500 dollars to the state of Michigan.

for a CPL, I believe it's a suspension of your CPL for a certain about of time, don't quote me on the CPL.

You are required to show both your drivers license (or state ID card) and your CPL card if carrying and if requested by a LEO.

28.425f Concealed pistol license; possession; disclosure to police officer; violation; penalty; seizure; forfeiture; "peace officer" defined.

Sec. 5f.

(1) An individual who is licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol shall have his or her license to carry that pistol in his or her possession at all times he or she is carrying a concealed pistol.

(2) An individual who is licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol and who is carrying a concealed pistol shall show both of the following to a peace officer upon request by that peace officer:

(a) His or her license to carry a concealed pistol.

(b) His or her driver license or Michigan personal identification card.

The bolded part should read "if carrying concealed and if requested by a LEO."

You could also have your gun confiscated.

28.425f

(7) A pistol carried in violation of this section is subject to immediate seizure by a peace officer. If a peace officer seizes a pistol under this subsection, the individual has 45 days in which to display his or her license or documentation to an authorized employee of the law enforcement entity that employs the peace officer. If the individual displays his or her license or documentation to an authorized employee of the law enforcement entity that employs the peace officer within the 45-day period, the authorized employee of that law enforcement entity shall return the pistol to the individual unless the individual is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. If the individual does not display his or her license or documentation within the 45-day period, the pistol is subject to forfeiture as provided in section 5g. A pistol is not subject to immediate seizure under this subsection if both of the following circumstances exist:

(a) The individual has his or her driver license or Michigan personal identification card in his or her possession when the violation occurs.

(b) The peace officer verifies through the law enforcement information network that the individual is licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol.
