Does anyone know if you can buy a handgun in Michigan if you have a misdemeanor conviction?
Damn it! I thought this was going to be some gun porn!
As far as your question…you all should have a state law enforcement division that you can email. They are always the best people to reference these kinds of questions if you can’t find the answer yourself in Michigan code.
Just call a gun store, you’ll get the quickest answer ever.
Why do you feel you need a gun?
Above is the link to Firearms Act 372 of Michigan Code…

Very well remembered - he did. I think the thread was called “Dealing with an Ex-Boyfriend” or something like that.
…but he’s asking about handguns now. And one can never have too many guns.

A shotgun is overkill in certain situations. Need a precision instrument for kneecapping, etc. Gotta have a sidearm. Just in case.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. If what you’ve already got isn’t registered, might as well go all out.
[quote]clip11 wrote:

That’s understandable. You have to have a gun for each hand.
It is, but since then I got a misdemeanor conviction and you need a permit to buy a handgun so im asking can i still get that permit with a misdemeanor i know you can \t get one with a felony.

I have nothing against responsible gun ownership, but several of your posts have been about theft, rape (male butt-sex and otherwise) and executing “hits” on people for nominal sums of money. Please don’t hold up a Korean grocer or something.
I also want an ak 47
