CCW Question?

brohnson · March 23, 2011, 08:46 PM

My CCW permit expired about 18 months ago, so my question is can I still renew it or do I have to take the class all over again? I'm from Michigan.

Thanks, Tim

I would contact the issuing authority and ask them.

yes call them. if the class is good for life(in my state it is - not sure about michigan), you should be able to just mail a copy of the course along WITH the expired ID. basically, you lose time during processing because you didn't renew at the proper time. This doesn't mean you have to start from scratch.

Found on the Michigan State Police site:

3. How long is the Concealed Pistol License course that I took valid?

MCL 28.425j specifies what conditions must be met in the course required to get a Concealed Pistol License. One of those requirements is that the program provides a certificate of completion stating the program complies with the requirements of this section. There is not an expiration date on the training. However, your local county gun board will review the training certificate to see if is acceptable.

It seems like Don provided some good information for you but I'd give them a call as well.

In Kentucky for example, so long as I continue to renew my CCW license, my training class is valid, however, if I let my license lapse for 6 months (don't quote me on that, I don't remeber the exact time frame) I have to take the class over again.

Just called them and in Michigan we never expire for a renewal so all I got to do is get my passport photo, complete my renewal form and give them $105 and go see the gun board and I'm good to go, thanks everyone!
