Pistol Permit Application

Dealer Sales

Residents wishing to purchase pistols from licensed dealers in Michigan are required to obtain a permit to purchase from their local law enforcement agency. Licensed dealers are now able to produce the appropriate pistol registration paperwork and perform the appropriate federal background checks. Once the background check is approved and the paperwork is completed, the dealer will give you a copy of the Pistol Sales Record that needs to be delivered to the Grand Blanc Township Department. The State of Michigan no longer requires an inspection of the firearm.

Private Party Sales

To purchase a pistol from a private party, you will need to obtain a Permit to Purchase. Grand Blanc Township residents will need to come to the Grand Blanc Township Department and fill out an application for a permit to purchase. Once the application is submitted, our staff will conduct the appropriate background checks and issue or deny a permit based on the findings. Should you be approved, the permit will be available within a few days or sooner. The permit issue is valid for 30 days. Once the firearm is purchased, you will need to return the appropriate section of the sales permit to the Grand Blanc Township Department. The State of Michigan no longer requires an inspection of the firearm.

CPL Sales

Residents who hold a valid Concealed Pistol License, commonly referred to as a CPL or CCW, can purchase a pistol at any licensed dealer without a background check once they show their CPL. CPL holders who wish to purchase a pistol from a private party may obtain the necessary form at any time from the Grand Blanc Township Police Department.
