Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Quiz

A buddy of mine is a ranking police officer in a local law enforcement agency. As such, he is required to conduct training on a variety of topics, including firearms and CPL law.

The other day, he gave me a written test he had previously written and just administered throughout his agency. I thought it was a good exam so I asked if I could post it on my blog; no need to reinvent the wheel, I mused. He recently received authorization from his bosses to allow me to distribute it.

So, let's see how well you can score on this test. If in doubt as to the "intent" of a question, assume the posture and/or position of a Michigan local law enforcement agency.
