Michigan's
concealed pistol law expressly recognizes permits issued by
other states' residents. M.C.L.
28.432a. However, non-residents are subject to all
Michigan gun laws while carrying a pistol in Michigan.
These laws include specifying where pistols may not be carried, the implied
blood/alcohol consent provision, the requirement of
immediate disclosure to a peace officer when
stopped, and carrying while under the influence of alcohol. A
non-resident should therefore study the
Michigan concealed carry law before carrying a concealed
pistol in Michigan.
Similarly,
a Michigan concealed pistol licensee who wishes to carry a
concealed pistol in another state must comply with the laws
of that state.
Those
that recognize Michigan issued permits are:
-
Alabama
- Alaska
-
Arizona
-
Colorado

Florida

laws.

Several
states have indicated that they will recognize Michigan
permit upon entry of a reciprocity agreement. Those are:
-
South Carolina
-
Texas
-
West Virginia
We have advised those states that we wish to enter into such
agreements and will sign them as soon as they are received.
Some
states allow for the application for a temporary CCW permit
issued by that state or local unit of government. Others
exempt law enforcement officers.
Federal
law expressly provides that persons may carry a firearm in
their vehicles while traveling through another state
provided that the possession of the weapon is legal in both
the states of origin and destination and the weapon is
unloaded and carried in the trunk of the vehicle or a locked
container other than the glove box. See
18 U.S.C. 926a
