Q: I am a photographer creating a series in Detroit. In one of the images that I will be creating, I wanted to use the gun (SKS) that my dad brought back from Vietnam as a prop. I wasn't sure if this was something that I would need to get a permit for or what. I am not sure if its registered, its just always been on our wall growing up. If you can direct me in any way, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
In addition, I suggest that you carry your rifle on a sling and not be carrying it around in your hands. Moreover, I am not exactly sure of what activities you will be engaging in while "creating your series," but you may draw attention to yourself. As such, you may come into contact with law enforcement. You should prepare yourself for such an encounter by knowing the laws.
Don't take my advice as discouragement. I am a huge supporter of gun rights. However, I strongly feel that you should be prepared. If I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

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.
