Overview for Michigan

Michigan does not have state preemption over all firearm regulations, so there are many townships and cities where firing a gun is illegal. If a firearm is stolen it must be reported to the police within, 5 days of the owner discovering that it was missing.

Michigan considers pellet guns to be firearms so owners must follow the same procedures as with a firearm. This includes having a license to own one, and registering the gun. Should the gun have no serial number it must be taken to the police who will stamp one on the pellet gun.
