RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS

"Promoting safe use and ownership of firearms
through education, litigation, and legislation."

September 2024 CPL Report

The growth in total statewide concealed pistol license numbers slowed in August as is typical most years due to family vacations and other summer events. Michigan added a net 206 new licenses for a total of 847,746. The full report from the Michigan State Police can be found online HERE. We anticipate a healthy increase in licenses over the final third of the year due to political concerns related to the natonal elections.
