What type of background check is conducted when applying for a Michigan CPL?

  1. Criminal history

  2. Mental health

  3. Both A and B

  4. Credit history

The correct answer is: Both A and B

When applying for a Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL), both criminal history and mental health background checks are conducted. This is essential to ensure that individuals seeking a CPL do not have a history that may prohibit them from safely carrying a concealed weapon. Credit history is not typically relevant in the CPL application process, making option D incorrect. By conducting both criminal history and mental health background checks, the issuing authorities can better assess an applicant's eligibility to hold a CPL.
