I'm about to turn in my paperwork for the MI CCW permit.  I took the required class in 2001.  Will that be Ok or is there a expiration date on that?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I think its only good for 6 months, but I might be wrong. Best to go to the MSP site and look it up.

Yup, I think I'm wrong. Just got this form MSP site


"11. 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."

Still good to check on your own.

Thanks I will.  MSP is the MI State Police I assume.

Check to see that your certificate states it complies with that section. That didn't used to be a requirement, and I think it was added sometime around 2001.

Kinda lost my cool there for a minute.  Talked to the instructor at my club and he's going to let me drop in on his next class for free and update my certificate.  I'm still bummed, that's not until May.  Looks like I'll be legal sometime around the next election.

BTT just to let anyone know I didn't snap!

LOL Good to know.

FWIW, processing time varries with what county you live in, but rumors are it's recently gotten faster even in Wayne County (Home Town forum has had threads on this). It may take less time. Then again, it's worth a few bucks not to have to wait a couple months. You could take a class elsewhere way before that.

Well a few bucks from what I've come across is 150- $175  I'm contemplating it.

Your help is much appreciated!
