The process for buying a handgun will be simplified following a bill passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Granholm. From Monroe News:
---------------
Pistol rules signed into law
Revisions to post-purchase pistol registration requirements have been signed into law by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
Sponsored by state Sen. Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, the new law gives pistol owners the option of mailing the registration within 10 days after the pistol was purchased or hand delivering it.
"The new registration process will be simpler and more convenient for law-abiding gun owners," said Sen. Richardville in a press release. "I heard from several residents in my district who felt the previous registration requirements were burdensome and redundant. Although inspections were required, many times the pistols were not even inspected."
Previously, the law required the owner to take the pistol to a local law enforcement officer for an inspection and turn in a different registration form.
The Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, National Rifle Association, Shooters Alliance for Firearm Rights and Great Lakes Shooting Sports Association support the law.

The requirements of licencing and registration still need to be eliminated.
