Flying to Michigan with Handguns
Intro post...
I'm a California resident who is planning a trip to Michigan, and would like to bring a couple of my hand guns and meet up with some friends at a range to do some shooting. Has anyone flown into Michigan with handguns, or shot in Michigan with handguns you brought from out of state? I do not have a permit to carry, but I also I don't plan to carry them, open or concealed. I just want to bring them to a range, shoot them, and then pack them back up. I heard that it was possibly illegal to bring handguns into the state if you don't have a concealed permit, but that did not seem logical to me - but when are gun laws ever logical? I tried calling the Michigan state police non-emergency line, but only got a busy signal. Any past experience, or current knowledge you can share would be appreciated. |

Reciprocity
Quote:
You need to find a reciprocity map for more details as well as get current on their restriction. Most Midwest states have laws that are very friendly and common. Again, except for Illinois. .... http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_ca...ry-reciprocity Good luck and; Be Safe !!!

Didn't dive through the link, but Michigan is harder than you would think. At the moment, IL is better! I can get my concealed carry for Chicago with no problem.
However, as an out of state non permanent summer home owner in MI, I have failed to get one single ok for any type of firearm. IL and MI don't acknowledge each other. But I sometimes bring some guns from Chicago to shoot at my Dad's range in MI, so it is really just transporting. There is nothing else I can do except don't do anything at all. |

With the exception of a very few places, taking a handgun into a different state to shoot it is a non-issue.
Check with the airline what they require for transport. You'll have to check that bag or bags, which is expensive nowadays. |

It really is disgusting that this kind of thing needs to be planned and researched We all use the same constitution yet you can cross borders of some states and lose you freedom. We all need to push for reciprocity laws no matter which state we live in!
