Your first step in obtaining a Michigan Concealed Carry CCW/CPL License is to take and pass an accredited class!!

WE TEACH THAT CLASS AT DETROIT ARMS on 21 Mile & Gratiot in Chesterfield, MI!  It's valid for ALL Michigan counties!

Michigan is a "shall issue" state. That means that they will issue you a Michigan Concealed Pistol license as long as you meet the criteria outlined by the State of Michigan and the Michigan State Police.

The State of Michigan has also outlined the specific training necessary to obtain your license. The Detroit Arms 1-Day 8-Hour Michigan Concealed Carry Class meets, and exceeds, all state requirements for that training.

You do not need to own a firearm in order to take our class. We have several firearms available for you to use in order to complete the shooting portion of our class. There is NO CHARGE for you to utilize our guns. You are responsible for purchasing the ammunition - which you are required to purchase at the range the day of the class. The ammunition cost will be $15 or less.

Once you have taken, and passed, a Michigan Concealed Carry training class you must turn your paperwork in at your local county clerk office. You will be given a copy of the application, as well as instructions the day of our class.

You will take your ORIGINAL class completion certificate, a completed application - do not sign until you are in front of the clerk - and $115 to the COUNTY CLERKS Office for the county you live in.

The clerks office will give you a receipt and direct you where you need to go to get the appropriate fingerprinting done.

YOU HAVE 45 DAYS to get the fingerprints in the system - if you fail to get your fingerprints taken for a CPL Application, you will forfeit your $115 application fee, your application and the ability to apply again this calendar year.

After your prints have been placed in the system, the Michigan State Police take over processing your application. By law, they have 45 days to approve or deny you a license. Typically, this process takes 2-3 weeks.

IF AFTER 45 days you have not received a denial letter or a license, you may use your receipt from the clerks office to act as a temporary license.

Your concealed carry license will be good for up to five years, depending on where your birthday falls in the process.
