Quote History Quoted:
Are you in Wayne County? I am in Wayne and I just renewed mine on 8/31. It was supposed to expire on 9/1. I did it at the Henry Ruff location. What the chick at the counter told me was this:
Since the license was expiring, I could NOT carry until it was renewed. If I didn't hear anything by 10/31, I could carry again on the expired license, until I received my new license, which could take as long as four months, as long as I had the renewal receipt stapled to the card. If I got a letter saying I was an asshole and my CCW was revoked, I had to make an appointment with the powers that be and plead to be given my rights back.
When I renewed in 2010, I got my renewal license in two or three weeks. I was also allowed to continue carrying, as long as I had my renewal receipt stapled to my license. I am not sure what happened this time, but I am thinking we people in Wayne County got screwed again... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Under the current MCL 28.425b for new license applications:
(13) Until November 30, 2015, and subject to subsections (10) and (14), the concealed weapon licensing board shall issue or deny issuance of a license within 45 days after the concealed weapon licensing board receives the fingerprint comparison report provided under subsection (10).
(9) Beginning December 1, 2015, a receipt under this subsection shall contain all of the following:
(f) The statement "This receipt was issued for the purpose of applying for a concealed pistol license. As provided in section 5b of 1927 PA 372, MCL 28.425b, if a license or notice of statutory disqualification is not issued within 45 days after the date this receipt was issued, this receipt shall serve as a concealed pistol license for the individual named in the receipt when carried with an official state-issued driver license or personal identification card. The receipt is valid as a license until a license or notice of statutory disqualification is issued by the county clerk. This receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms.".
Under the current MCL 28.425l for renewal licenses:
(3) Until November 30, 2015, the concealed weapon licensing board shall issue or deny issuance of a renewal license within 60 days after the application for renewal is properly submitted. The county clerk shall issue the applicant a receipt for his or her renewal application at the time the application is submitted to the county clerk.

The receipt issued under this subsection shall contain all of the following:
(e) Until November 30, 2015, the statement that the receipt is for a license renewal. Beginning December 1, 2015, the statement "This receipt was issued for the purpose of renewal of a concealed pistol license. As provided in section 5l of 1927 PA 372, MCL 28.425l, this receipt shall serve as a concealed pistol license for the individual named in the receipt when carried with the expired license and is valid until a license or notice of statutory disqualification is issued by the county clerk. This receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms.".
(5) Until November 30, 2015, if the concealed weapon licensing board fails to deny or issue a renewal license to the person within 60 days as required under subsection (4), the expiration date of the current license is extended by 180 days or until the renewal license is issued, whichever occurs first. This subsection does not apply unless the person pays the renewal fee at the time the renewal application is submitted and the person has submitted a receipt from a police agency that confirms that a background check has been requested by the applicant. Beginning December 1, 2015, if an individual applies for a renewal license before the expiration of his or her license, the expiration date of the current license is extended until the renewal license or notice of statutory disqualification is issued. Beginning December 1, 2015, the county clerk shall notify the department of state police in a manner prescribed by the department of state police after he or she receives an application for renewal. Beginning December 1, 2015, the department of state police shall immediately enter into the law enforcement information network the date that application for renewal was submitted and that the renewal application is pending.
The clerk's statement was actually correct for your renewal. Unfrotunately, the amended law does not take effect until 1 December 2015. Under the current law, the county must have had your renewal application for 60+ days for your current expiration date to be extended. If you had applied prior to 1 July, you would not have had a lapse in your CPL.
