CARRY WHILE USING ALCOHOL OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES?
Does Michigan have laws regarding carrying a concealed firearm while using alcohol or controlled substances? Not while under the influence of alcoholic liquor (BAC of 0.02 or greater) or a controlled substance or while having a bodily alcohol content prohibited under this section. “Controlled substance” means that term as defined in MCL § 333.7104.
“Under the influence of alcoholic liquor or a controlled substance” means that the individual’s ability to properly handle a pistol or to exercise clear judgment regarding the use of that pistol was substantially and materially affected by the consumption of alcoholic liquor or a controlled substance.
As a responsibly armed American, regardless of the laws in your state, it is unwise to carry while under the influence of any substance that could impair your judgement, slow your reaction times, or impact your decision-making abilities. Any decision you make while carrying a firearm could have life-altering consequences.

Yes, only to active-duty military stationed in Michigan or active duty military stationed outside of Michigan, but Michigan is the applicant’s home of record. Also, if a new Michigan resident has a current concealed carry license from another state, Michigan will accept that and waive the 6-month residency requirement.
PUBLIC ACCESS TO CONCEALED CARRY REGISTRY?
Does Michigan allow the public to access concealed carry registry information through public records law? No, however the information is available for law enforcement.
