Buying a gun in Michigan is a relatively simple process, but there are a few things you need to know before you get started. First, you must be at least 18 years old to purchase a long gun (rifle or shotgun) and 21 years old to purchase a handgun. You will also need to pass a background check, which includes a criminal history check and a mental health check.
To purchase a gun in Michigan, you will need to visit a licensed gun dealer. You will need to provide the dealer with your driver’s license or state ID card, and you will need to fill out a federal firearms transaction record (ATF Form 4473). The dealer will then conduct a background check on you. If you pass the background check, the dealer will be able to sell you the gun.
