Upon moving to Michigan with the intent to reside in the state, how soon must a new resident obtain a Michigan CPL if they wish to carry a concealed pistol?

  1. Immediately

  2. Within 30 days

  3. Within 60 days

  4. There is no specific time frame as long as they have a valid CPL from another state

The correct answer is: Within 30 days

Upon moving to Michigan with the intent to reside in the state, new residents must obtain a Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) within 30 days if they wish to carry a concealed pistol. This requirement ensures that individuals who are residents of Michigan and intend to carry a concealed pistol have undergone the necessary background checks and training specified by Michigan law. It is important for new residents to comply with this timeline to legally carry a concealed pistol in the state. Option A is incorrect because while obtaining a CPL should be done promptly, Michigan law allows new residents to obtain their CPL within 30 days of establishing residency in the state. Option C is incorrect as the correct timeframe is within 30 days, not within 60 days. Option D is incorrect because Michigan requires new residents to obtain a Michigan CPL if they wish to carry a concealed pistol within the specified 30-day timeframe, even if they have a valid CPL from another state.
