Q: I have a gun that was (owned by) my grandmother and she is deceased now. RIP granny. But what all do I need to register that gun in my name?A: If the firearm is a pistol AND you do not have a Concealed Pistol License (CPL), you will need to get a 30-Day Permit from your local police department.
If the firearm is a pistol and you have a CPL, you do not need a 30-Day Permit, but you will need to go to Google and download a "Michigan Pistol Sales Record Form" from the Internet.
Once you have the permit or the form, whichever applies, have the seller and the buyer (you) sign all sections of the form or permit. If you inherited the pistol, you are also the seller.If the firearm is a rifle or a shotgun, you do not need to register it.
Otherwise, turn in only the completed form or permit to your local police department. They will issue you a registration for the handgun on the spot.
