FAQ: What Is The Difference Between A Michigan CCW And A Michigan CPL?
Ask The Michigan Firearms Instructor
Q: What Is The Difference Between A Michigan CCW And A Michigan CPL?
A: A CCW - Carrying A Concealed Weapon - is a crime in which a person unlawfully possesses a hidden weapon, usually a handgun, on or about his person without authorization.
In contrast, a CPL - Concealed Pistol License - is a document granted by the state of Michigan which authorizes the named licensee to possess a concealed pistol on or about his person. In many contexts, many people use the two terms - CCW and CPL - interchangeably.

Laws covering self-defense, lethal force, firearms, and the Michigan Concealed Pistol License and their enforcement are always subject to change due to laws being amended, politics conducted in the Prosecutor's Office, and election results at all levels of government. Ignorance of the law, legally speaking, is not a valid excuse for running afoul of it. The penalties and fines imposed upon violators of firearms related offenses are stiff and severe.
