C & R LICENSE QUESTION

Member Posts: 64 ✭✭
I JUST RECIEVED MY LICENSE AFTER WAITING 5 WEEKS.
I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND AM CONFUSED ABOUT ONLINE/MAIL ORDER PURCHASES
. DO I NEED TO GET A PURCHASE PERMIT FROM THE LOCAL POLICE EACH TIME I GET A C & R ELGIBLE GUN? IF SO, WHO FILLS OUT THE SECTION FOR THE SELLER.
I'VE READ ALL THE PAPERWORK I GOT AND AM STILL A LITTLE FUZZY.

Unless there are some "special" requirements where you live, the answer is no. You should be able to receive C&R's at your home with no other licenses.
Call your local agency and ask.
i found out that i do need a purchase permit and i fill out all 3 sections and give the police one of them.
i bought a nagant revolver from jg sales in arizona and i love it.
i'm glad i got my C&R license.
I'm in CA, so I know states restrict the Type 03 FFL - I can't receive C & R handguns mailed directly, must go through a Type 01 FFL (dealer). How states get to restrict a federally issued license is beyond me.
i have my C&R and live in michigan... C&R you are the FFL and permits are not required from your local pd for purchase or to submit for Registration..your bound book is your registration on a federal level as a ffl c and r holder and not required on a state or local level.....just dont carry a c&r pistol as a ccw unless you have the ccw license and you will be fine..however if you open carry as some are doing up here...no law on books to say you cannot[:D] just expect to be questioned alot
Ozzy nailed it. You have a FFL, just not a Dealer's FFL. After you sent that copy of your application to the LEO, you fulfilled the requirements. You never need to fill out any forms to purchase any C&R eligible gun; pistol or longarm - does not matter. Carrying, of course, is another thing.
The problem is not Michigan (where I've held a C&R FFL for over fifteen years now), it's the local LEOs. Regardless of their intentions, many of them are just not familiar with Federal regs that relate to a C&R. Our local city police chief had been in office for a long time when I got my first license. When I delivered his copy of the application in person, I had to show him the written instructions saying why I was doing that. He had no idea what was going on. And he asked me what he was supposed to do with his copy! I told him that I figured that it should be filed somewhere. I really don't know what he did with it.
So the problem is not Michigan. It's your local police or sheriff or whomever you have for the head LEO.
Read the laws for yourself. Do not ask the local police chief for advice; he probably doesn't know the answers. The only answers that count are THOSE IN WRITING FROM THOSE WITH AUTHORITY. If you just have to ask someone, contact your state attorney general.

they also commented that i was probably the only one in the county.
i guess it would be hard to keep up with EVERY gun law...

And I think it's important to note, the local LE has no say in whether or not the FEDERAL Type 03 (C & R) FFL is granted. You are merely informing them, not requesting their permission. I live in San Fran and trust me, if the local LE chief had any say in it none of us would have a Type 03 FFL.
