I am looking at a possible relocation to Grand Rapids for work this summer.  It would be a long term relocation.  Anything about MI gun laws I should be aware of?  Banned guns, mag restrictions?

No mag restrictions. Right now SBR's and SBS's are illegal... But we are trying to make those legal right now. The bill is on the governor's desk to sign.

No mag limits

The CPL process blows

All NFA stuff is allowed (our sbr bill was just signed into law today)

Pistols need to be registered

Edit: took to long to type

Thanks for the info.  On the pistol registration, how long after I move do I have to register?

Don't quote me, but if intending to establish residency it's pretty much ASAP.



Pulled from MI legal jumbo:

(8) An individual who is not a
resident of this state is not required to obtain a license under this
section if all of the following conditions apply

...



(e) The individual is in this state for a period of 180 days or less and does not intend to establish residency in this state.



In red strikes me as being the key statement.

While the pistol registration is annoying, complying is super easy. MI form RI-60 is the form and it's really quick and simple to fill out and just drop off at the local LEO office.

You were an hour and 26 minutes late about the SBRs and SBSs. The bill was signed yesterday at 9:10PM and filed with the Secretary of State at noon today.
