What is the primary purpose of the Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL)?

  1. To allow individuals to carry a pistol in public places

  2. To enhance public safety

  3. To permit the purchase of firearms

  4. To carry concealed pistols for self-defense

The correct answer is: To carry concealed pistols for self-defense

The primary purpose of the Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is to allow individuals to carry a concealed pistol for self-defense. While option A may seem similar, it is important to note that a CPL does not actually give an individual permission to carry a pistol in public places; it only allows them to carry a pistol in a concealed manner. Option B, enhancing public safety, may not be the primary purpose of the CPL, but it can be seen as a secondary benefit. Option C is incorrect, as a CPL does not permit the purchase of firearms; an individual must still go through the required background checks and paperwork to purchase a firearm. Therefore, option D is the best answer as it directly addresses the primary purpose of the CPL.
