michigan laws on black powder handguns

this is a nice little reply i got in the mail today from the state of michigan. its real enjoyable.




There was a statutory change in May of 2004 which exempted black powder muzzleloading handguns from the purchase permit requirement. The only black powder pistols that require the permit are ones that can be modified to also chamber a modern cartridge. According to statutory definition, a black powder pistol is still classified as a firearm, and is subject to restrictions on transporting or carrying concealed without a concealed pistol license.

Federal law does not classify black powder muzzleloading handguns as firearms. Therefore, they are not subject to the restrictions on shipping over state lines to an individual's residence. As long as UPS or FedEx will accept them for shipping, there is no state or federal law that would prohibit it.



so because of you guys and those fun little cartridge conversion units from kirst and r&d, a colt walker still needs a permit to purchase. what fun.
