Assuming they are both in MI, have your daughter go to the cop shop and get a purchase permit. Have Mom fill it out and sign it. Take permit back to popo.

 

You might want to help your mother fill out the info required about the handgun. The permit asks for things like manufacturer, model, caliber, number of shots, barrel length, etc.

 

They can get all of that off of her original registration.

 

Thanks, we will do as suggested

 

One more thing. Some people still think that you have to take the handgun to the police station for an inspection. That requirement ended a few years ago. Do not take it in there, they might get upset.
They will tell you which copy to return to them.
Your daughter can go to the local police station or to the county sheriff office for the permit.

 

Return the white. Seller keeps yellow. I forget which one purchaser gets but its labeled.

 

If the PURCHASER does NOT have a CPL, they need to get a LTP (License To Purchase)
from ANY Law enforcement agency in the state of Michigan.
This could be your Police Department or your Sheriff Department or even the local Police Department where you happen to be vacationing. It comes on 1 (one) big card and has 3 panels.
The License to Purchase has 2 (two) sides to it.
It is good for 30 days.
The Police or Sheriff Dept will fill out your info and their info.
Then you need to get the permit notarized.
(some depts. will do it on the spot, but it can be done at any notary)
DO NOT SIGN THE PERMIT until you are in front of a notary.
There may be a charge for this process at some departments.
The Basic Pistol Safety Pamphlet and Basic Pistol Safety Questionnaire are eliminated.
Either the SELLER or PURCHASER needs to fill in the information regarding the firearm.
The SELLER needs to sign and print their name on the back side of the permit.
Then:
The seller keeps the copy marked SELLER COPY.
The purchaser keeps the copy marked PURCHASER COPY.
The purchaser is responsible for delivering the remaining copy
(marked MICHIGAN STATE POLICE COPY)
to their local police or Sheriff Dept. within 10 days.

Do not take the pistol into the police department at any time. That is no longer done because there is no longer a safety inspection.

Oh, and better have an I.D. with you (Drivers License, etc.).

The purchaser needs to keep his copy of the permit with him while in possession of the pistol for at least 30 days any time the pistol is out in public in order to give the State Police time to enter the registration into their data base.

Without a CPL the pistol must be properly cased at all times while transporting.

 

I prefer to get the permit notarized at the police station. You can take it somewhere else, but I don't like strange people knowing what I have.

 

Having a CPL has more than one advantage. All of this would be mute.

 

It might be an advantage if the person wanted a CPL. Otherwise, it would be an added expense in money and time.
Picking up a purchase permit only take a few minutes.

 

There should not even be a registration process, or a purchase permit.

As to the original post, it's easy to do it legally. Why did your mom take it in the first place? Why didn't she just have the daughter pick it up to start with?

 

It is also legally easy to avoid. The whole process is grossly flawed.

 

CAN I GET MY LATE GRAND SON PISTOL TRANSFER TO MY NAME WITH A DEATH CERTIFICATE, IF SO WHERE DO I GO TO HAVE IT DONE?
