Which type of ammunition is prohibited from use in a concealed pistol in Michigan?

  1. Hollow-point

  2. Armor-piercing

  3. Full metal jacket

  4. Shotgun shells

The correct answer is: Armor-piercing

In Michigan, it is illegal to use armor-piercing ammunition in a concealed pistol. This is because armor-piercing ammunition is designed to penetrate armor and can pose a threat to law enforcement and civilians. Full metal jacket ammunition (C) and shotgun shells (D) are also not suitable for use in a concealed pistol, as they are not designed for self-defense purposes and can cause excessive harm. Hollow-point ammunition (A) is the only suitable type of ammunition for use in a concealed pistol, as it is designed to expand upon impact and can reduce the risk of over-penetration and collateral damage.
