Under Michigan law, which of the following individuals is not allowed to obtain a CPL?

  1. Someone who has been hospitalized for mental illness

  2. A person with a misdemeanor traffic offense

  3. A individual over the age of 21 with no criminal record

  4. A person who has renounced their U.S. citizenship

The correct answer is: Someone who has been hospitalized for mental illness

In Michigan, individuals with a history of mental illness may be prohibited from obtaining a CPL (Concealed Pistol License) due to concerns about their ability to safely handle a firearm. This includes those who have been hospitalized for mental illness. While a misdemeanor traffic offense (B) or renouncement of U.S. citizenship (D) may have legal consequences, they do not automatically disqualify an individual from obtaining a CPL. Additionally, an individual over the age of 21 with no criminal record (C) is typically eligible to obtain a CPL, with some exceptions such as those with certain mental health histories (like those mentioned in option A).
