imo and I played a Klingon once but never a lawyer on TV, he can carry it at a target range, not on the street
I am sure the other city was for LONG GUNS

Notice the law only allows such borrowing "if all of the following conditions apply:", the most important one being that "(d) The owner of the pistol is physically present and supervising the use of the pistol."

hi i was wondering if there is anything to stop me from takeing a CPL class this summer when im only 19 years old so that when i turn 21 in september 2013 i could apply for my cpl right when i turn 21

As far as the NRA Course (That's what most classes are) goes, you can take it at 18, and the law provides no expiration date on the certificate so you can take it now, and wait if you want to, and your certificate will still be good, no need to retake it.:D

I will be holding a class in the not to distant future (I'm an instructor) if you want to sign up, I have no issues teaching you. As far as gun rental goes if you need one the range, may, or may not do it, but I will, just bring a note from your parents saying you can (just to cover all my bases the law).

Could you side a law requiring a note under Michigan or Federal law? I understand maybe for liability reasons but even then he's an adult.

Yes SAC please side, front, back a law? Just kidding - SAC probably wants the note for Range & liability issues. He's about as pro 2A of a guy I have ever met. I determined this in a mere 5 minutes of exposure to him at the Royal Oak city council/commission meeting he spoke at.

disclaimer * I am biased here, after all he carries a Glock ;)

Well if he carries a Glock! My bad us Glock owners shouldn't even have to side (kidding) law.

I shall research some more, i am strictly referring to shooting at as gun range target practice, i can let anyone that is a non cpl holder, shoot my gun regardless of age. I will see if i can find something "handgun" related. I recall seeing something that restricted HANDGUNS to ranges.

IMO, you should go back and delete the other two posts since they deal with long guns and hunting. 28.422 deals with pistols and leaving the other two up there will just confuse people.
