Alright so I have a "friend" who recently was transfered to OH for about 8 months. While there he got into firearms and purchased a couple handguns. He didnt have a OH DL. He bought two privately and another friend bought a new handgun and eventually sold it to him.

He is now back in MI and wants to make sure there legal but doesn't want to get into trouble.

My advice was since I don't live in a commie state that required gun registration he should bring them out to me. He didn't bite.

So how does this work in MI. from the State police website it looks as they he has to apply for the purchase permit even if he already got it through enharitance etc. But if buying he needs the seller to sign a purchase form after he gets the permit.

So I'm not sure what to tell him. He obviously can't have the seller sign as they were all work buddies from OH. Who I doubt he is in touch with anymore.

I believe he said he has recipts for all of them.

In all honesty, since he never secured residency in Ohio, and was still a MI resident, it was technically a cross border sale, and as such would require retaining a ffl in MI to handle the transaction. However, if he wants to straighten it out w/ a minimum of mess and hassle, if he is a member of the NRA, have hiim call the NRA's legal defense fund hotline and get some free advice from lawyers (ick) who have probably dealt w/ this issue more than a couple times.

Or stick them in the back of the closet/safe and keep 'em as off the radar guns.

Maybe I'll just push for them to come to AZ again. Hell one is a pricey Kimber

I think he would like one for concealed carry. He mentioned that he took the class for it but I'm not sure if he actually got it. If he did it mentioned something about not needing the permit to purchase?

Maybe I should just call the state police and ask what is needed.
