What is the primary purpose of a Michigan CPL?

To carry a firearm openly
To enhance personal protection by carrying a concealed pistol
To allow the purchase of firearms without a background check
To permit the owner to carry any weapon

The correct answer is: To enhance personal protection by carrying a concealed pistol

A Michigan CPL, or Concealed Pistol License, is intended for the primary purpose of enhancing personal protection by allowing an individual to carry a concealed pistol. This is different from carrying a firearm openly as mentioned in option A, as it allows the individual to maintain the element of surprise and potentially avoid dangerous situations. Option C is incorrect because a background check is still required when purchasing firearms, regardless of having a CPL. Additionally, option D is incorrect because a CPL only applies to carrying pistols, not any other type of weapon. Therefore, the primary purpose of a Michigan CPL is to enhance personal protection through the ability to carry a concealed pistol.
