A Consolidated Guide to Michigan's New Gun Laws

As advocates for responsible firearm ownership, GY6 Arms has dedicated itself to educating our customers and community on Michigan’s new gun laws taking effect as of tomorrow, February 13th, 2024. We understand the importance of staying informed and compliant with state regulations. To aid in this endeavor, we have compiled a series of articles detailing each aspect of the legislation. Below is a summary of these posts, offering a concise overview of the new laws with direct links to each article for further information.

Changes in Firearm Buying and Selling

The process of acquiring and distributing firearms in Michigan is undergoing substantial changes. Our post, “New Gun Laws in Michigan Change the Buying and Selling Process,” breaks down the essentials of Public Act 19 of 2023, highlighting universal background checks and revised licensing.

One of the main points that everyone should know: a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) or License to Purchase (LTP) is required for every private firearm sale (pistol or long gun), and every dealer pistol sale. Neither are required for dealer long gun sales. This means, if you don’t have a CPL, you must get an LTP from your local police department, even if you’re buying from a licensed dealer.

There are other important details, and we provide clarity on those plus outline the new steps both private parties and licensed dealers must take to adhere to these laws.

Understanding Red Flag Laws

Michigan’s red flag laws, known officially as Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), represent a measure to prevent potential harm. Our blog post, “Understanding Michigan’s New Red Flag Laws: A Guide for Responsible Gun Ownership,” outlines what red flag laws are, who can request an ERPO, the criteria for issuance, and the process of enforcement.

New Firearm Storage Laws

Safe storage of firearms is now more regulated, with specific laws aimed at preventing access by minors. In our post, “Unpacking Michigan’s New Firearm Storage Laws,” we dissect the requirements for proper firearm storage and the consequences for failing to comply. It’s a must-read for all gun owners to ensure their home storage meets legal standards.

Domestic Violence and Firearm Possession

Our fourth post, “Michigan’s Domestic Violence and Firearm Regulations,” discusses the extended restrictions on firearm possession for individuals with misdemeanor domestic violence convictions. This legislation closes previous loopholes and aims to enhance protection for victims of domestic violence.

We encourage you to read through each detailed post to fully understand your responsibilities under the law.
