What is mandatory to obtain a Michigan CPL?

  1. Completing a firearm safety course

  2. Being a Michigan resident for at least 10 years

  3. Owning a firearm

  4. Being a member of a gun club

The correct answer is: Completing a firearm safety course

A Michigan CPL (concealed pistol license) is given by the state of Michigan to individuals who are legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm. One of the requirements for obtaining a Michigan CPL is completing a firearm safety course. This course helps to ensure that individuals are knowledgeable and competent with handling firearms for the safety of themselves and others. Option B, being a Michigan resident for at least 10 years, is incorrect because there is no minimum residency requirement in order to obtain a Michigan CPL. Option C, owning a firearm, is also incorrect because while you may need to own a firearm in order to participate in a firearm safety course, it is not mandatory to already own a firearm before obtaining a CPL. Option D, being a member of a gun club, is also incorrect because there is no requirement to join a gun club in order to obtain a Michigan CPL.
