Hi guys super inexperienced with everything gun wise so hoping Reddit could help
My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and all he wants to do is go shooting. I’m trying to give him a very fun unique experience aside from the typical indoor shooting range. He has plenty of guns and is pretty experienced. Any recommendations on where to take him or what to do?
Thank you in advance and feel free to ask any questions I’ll do my best to answer. I really need the help without spoiling it to him

It was years and years ago but I don't know if that disqualifies me from getting a gun. I'm just looking for a handgun for protection, going through the application appointment in october but I want to know if I'm wasting the application money. I have no idea what "adjudicated" implies, as far as I know there was no legal process involved. How would I find that out? It was involuntary, but the language confuses me. I just don't want to waste the money if I'm already disqualified.

Here visiting family and going to take them out shooting. Any good ranges open for Labor Day. I’ve seen Pontiac lake online but the rules they have are no fun.

Am I able to buy a black powder revolver under 21 I know the rules are different but I can’t find anywhere online that says if I can or not

Hi, my grandfather passed away a couple of years ago and my grandmother gave me all of his reloading equipment and supplies. I had planned to try to reload myself but we moved and I just don’t have the time or space so I was trying to figure out if there was a good place to sell it. I have a few boxes/totes of stuff I believe he reloaded mostly pistol ammo but I believe there’s also stuff in there for rifles/shotguns, but I don’t have much knowledge on it and don’t even know where to begin with selling it. Does anyone have any suggestions or a direction to point me? Thank you

I currently own a Beretta M9 made last year and a 1991 West German Sig P226. The Sig has probably had maybe 3 total magazines through it in its life and sat in a safe the rest of the time. I am the 2nd owner and I bought it in 1996, so i know everything is original on it. The first owner was a friend of mine.

I'm wondering though if it would make sense to sell it and pick up one of the more modern striker fired pistols. I'm interested in a Canik or a CZ.

Since I would have the Beretta M9 to fill the full sized pistol void, I'd still have that comfort for a home gun, along with my rifles. I used the M9 in the army and am familiar with it and like it. I haven't really used the Sig. It's just been a safe queen.

What do you guys think? Hang onto it because of historical value? Or try something new?

Not waiting any more.

Where do I start, what do I do, etc? Just trying to get a can for my 9 for plinking, seems like it might be now or never.

Edit: maybe I should’ve been more specific- I never knew the process, and I still don’t. I gather that I go into a gun shop that has a kiosk, but what is the step-by-step process?

I have a pistol I want to transfer to a family member. That family member lives in Oklahoma. I am driving to Oklahoma for the holidays. Is there a way for me to legally transfer them a firearm while also having some documentation so the state of Michigan doesn’t think I still possess it?

For context, Oklahoma has some of the most lax gun laws in the country and there is no paper trail for individual transfers.

Does anyone think these stand a chance? Maybe if the elections go well?

I guess this happened in late 2025, but we lost reciprocity with Nevada. If you want to carry there, you’d need to get an AZ or Utah OOS permit.

I applied and submitted fingerprints on Tuesday August 25th and got my CPL in the mail today, Saturday August 29th. I wasn't expecting it to arrive this early, as I have heard around here that most people have been waiting the almost the 45 days they are allowed to take.

Current carry is going to be my 3.1in Shield Plus with Holosun 407k optic.

Did some law change that I am unaware of or am I misreading the text. Warren PD website says that LTPS are no longer required for pistol purchases from a FFL dealer.

Purchasing a Pistol

If an individual is planning to purchase a pistol from a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer, or a sporting goods store (Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shop, Field and Stream, ect), a License to Purchase a Pistol (LTP) is no longer required. However, a Pistol Sales Record (PSR) will be completed by FFL dealer or sporting goods store. The FFL dealer or store will be responsible for conducting the criminal history and background check instead of the Police Department. You will need to return the MSP copy to the Police Department within 10 days.

Huh?

Honestly have zero interest in shooting at the ranges with rules like “only 5 rounds in the magazine at once” and “3 seconds in between shots”. It’s pretty worthless to train for self defense with rules like that in place especially the last one.

Where do you guys like to shoot and actually get quality training in?

I’m looking to purchase a suppressor and need a class 3 to complete the purchase. Does anyone here have recommendations and any pro tips to make the process fast and smooth?

To clarify, I’m purchasing a suppressor from a manufacturer and need assistance with the form 4. Thanks in advance!

So I'm currently traveling for work in St. Joseph but live in the U.P. and a coworker is offering to sell me a handgun. Do I need to obtain and turn in a pistol purchase permit from the PD on St. Joseph or do I have to go back to my home PD and file all the paperwork there?

Forgive me if this goes against the sales part, not looking to sell, looking for advice. Basic story, 3 guns my pops needs to get rid of. Older stuff, like a WW2 1911, a rifle etc. He doesn't do online stuff, and is looking for in person place that's not just a pawn shop. Any reccomendations where he can go in South East Michigan that will give him a fair price for his stuff?

Fly fishing top water with da 4wt and only catching dink bluegill/pumpkin seeds is the best shit ever no cap.

Anyone got any recommendations for good bass or pike streamers? I got quite a few but always looking for recommendations.

Also: what's your go to fishing carry?

I’ve got an old colt barrel I want to chop to 12.5 or 10.3”. Normally I ship to adco but that adds about $40 to the cost. Is there anyone near Oakland county that does it?

What do I need to do for private long arm transfers? I'm wanting to buy a shotgun I was offered and I have a CPL. What do I need to do?

Hey everyone, planning a bachelor party for this September and one day we’re looking to goto some sort of range to shoot! Theres 6 coming down from Port Huron to Detroit so somewhere not to crazy far off that path would be nice.
Indoor/ outdoor, skeet. Somewhere with some better rental options and rates.
Appreciate and recommendations or input.

I haven't really seen this discussed in length anywhere yet but this latest ruling puts us in a weird spot. Take an Mp5 for example. It is sub 26"oal so a pistol per Michigan definition. If there is no longer a federal requirement to make/register an SBR for plaintiffs (GOA/PSA/etc) is there anything specific preventing one from making one in Michigan without filing a form? It would obviously still fall under a pistol definition here. All I can see for our SBR stuff is if the OAL is above 26" and Michigan considers anything under that a pistol.

I understand the suppressor portion of this not applying to us but the SBR/SBS stuff seems a lot murkier. The laws as written seem to indicate that if the federal requirement is gone, it would be fine to make an SBR here without a form while still needing to register it as a pistol, so long as the minimum firing length is 26" or below.

Bought a shotgun online through Dunhams and it will be my first firearm at 24. What am i to expect? Also, i wont need a LTP just for a shotgun?

This summer I found myself going to outdoor ranges way more than indoor ones. Before this year, I pretty much exclusively shot indoors.

Are outdoor ranges generally open year-round? If they are, do you actually use them, or do you go back to indoor shooting once winter hits?

It feels like the upsides of shooting outdoors could outweigh the indoors no matter what.

Hey everyone! I moved here from Florida where I had my CWL but now need to register in Michigan.

Any class recommendations for someone who is already experienced and had a license in another state? I would like to avoid as much of the "class time" as possible as I have already gone through the process in another state.
