IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CPL HOLDERS

regarding the new purchasing process

Colt 1911 Handgun

Firearms: Permits & Registration


If you are a resident of the City of Negaunee and wish to obtain a Permit To Purchase a handgun, come to the Negaunee Police Department with your Michigan driver’s license.  You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a permit to purchase a handgun and the address on your driver's license must be up-to-date with the Secretary of State.

Once at the department, a copy of your license will be taken and you will be given a basic pistol safety test to complete. This test consists of several True/False questions pertaining to general gun safety.


A check of your criminal history will be conducted.  As this department does not have a LEIN terminal on site, the check will be done at another location and paperwork will be delivered to this department the following business day.  Because we are unable to view your criminal history on the day it is requested, you cannot receive a Permit To Purchase on the same day you come to the department to ask for it. Barring any complications from your criminal history, Permits To Purchase handguns are generally ready during the morning hours of the following business day. There is no charge for obtaining a Permit To Purchase.

Once you receive your Permit To Purchase, you must have the back of the permit notarized. This can be done in our office between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday through Friday.

After your permit is notarized, you may take it to a dealer or private party to purchase the handgun – keeping in mind the permits are only valid for ten (10) days. The Seller must provide and record in full (quadruplicate form) the requested information pertaining to the handgun, the seller and the transaction. Once this is completed, the Seller will retain the Seller's Copy of the permit for his/her own records. You will keep the copy marked as PURCHASER COPY (retain for 30 days) and you are required by law to either mail or deliver both the AGENCY COPY and the MSP COPY to the Negaunee Police Department within 10 days of acquiring your firearm.
