Under Michigan law, when must a CPL holder inform a police officer that they are carrying a concealed pistol?

  1. Immediately upon the officer's approach

  2. Only if the officer asks

  3. Within 10 minutes of being stopped

  4. When the CPL holder feels it is necessary

The correct answer is: Immediately upon the officer's approach

Under Michigan law, a CPL holder must immediately inform a police officer that they are carrying a concealed pistol upon the officer's approach. This means that as soon as a police officer approaches them, the CPL holder must inform the officer of the weapon, even if the officer does not ask. Option B, which states that the CPL holder only needs to inform the officer if asked, is incorrect as it goes against the specific law in Michigan. Option C, which states that the CPL holder has 10 minutes to inform the officer, is also incorrect as it does not follow the requirement for immediate notification. Option D, which states that the CPL holder should only inform the officer when they feel it is necessary, is also incorrect as it does not align with the specific requirement under Michigan law.
