I am a resident of Virginia with my CHP, so I can legally possess and carry handguns in Michigan. I will be traveling to Michigan and would like to give a family member a pistol as a gift. Does anyone really understand what needs to be done in this case?
I understand the recipient must get a permit to purchase unless they have a CPL, but after that I'm kind of lost. The laws seem to keep referring to the "seller" does that mean me even in the case of a gift and not being a gun dealer? Am I required to keep any forms on file after the transfer?
Also what is involved in the safety inspection? Do you have to drop off the pistol and leave it there or do the police do it while you wait?
Thanks for your help.
