Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Safety Course Practice Exam

What is required for a non-resident to openly carry a pistol in Michigan?

1. A valid government-issued ID

2. A valid CPL from their home state

3. Permission from local law enforcement

4. Nothing, open carry is not permitted for non-residents

The correct answer is: A valid CPL from their home state

A While a valid government-issued ID is required for all individuals to legally possess and/or carry a firearm, it is not the only requirement for a non-resident to openly carry a pistol in Michigan. C: While it is always recommended to obtain permission from local law enforcement before openly carrying a firearm, it is not a requirement in Michigan for non-residents. D: While open carry is not permitted for non-residents in some states, it is allowed in Michigan with the proper permits and documentation. It is important for non-residents to obtain a valid CPL from their home state in order to openly carry a pistol in Michigan, as this shows that they have undergone proper training and background checks. Simply possessing a valid government-issued ID or obtaining permission from local law enforcement would not suffice. It is always important to familiarize oneself with the specific laws and regulations of the state in which one plans to openly carry a firearm.
