CONCEALED
WEAPON PERMIT INFORMATION PACKETS
ARE AVAILABLE AT THE NEGAUNEE POLICE DEPARTMENT; HOWEVER,
THE MARQUETTE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT HANDLES ANY
AND ALL QUESTIONS & ALL REQUIRED PROCESSING
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, bringing
your Michigan driver’s license along with you.
You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a
permit to purchase a handgun.
Once
at the department, a copy of your license will be made
and you will be given a basic pistol safety test to
complete. This test consists of 15 True/False questions.
Criminal History Check – A check of your criminal
history will also 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 day. The only exception
to this would be if you made your permit request on
a Friday or Saturday. LEIN work would be received on
the following Monday.
Because
we are unable to view your criminal history on the day
it is requested, you cannot receive the 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 usually ready during
the morning hours of the following business day. There
is no charge for obtaining a Permit To Purchase.
Permits
To Purchase Information:
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 (triplicate
form) the requested information pertaining to the handgun,
the seller and the transaction on the front of the permit.
You, as the buyer, will also sign the front of the form
in the appropriate space. Once this is completed, the
Seller will retain the Seller's Copy of the permit for
his/her own records, and you will bring the remaining
two sections of the permit back to this department along
with the handgun purchased.
Registration
of Firearms:
Upon
returning to this department with the handgun purchased
and the two sections of the completed Permit To Purchase,
a safety inspection will be conducted by the Chief of
Police (or his designee). The serial number of the gun
will be checked through LEIN and a Safety Inspection
Certificate will be issued assuming the check is clear.
There is no charge for the registration/safety inspection
of your handgun. Free locks are also available at the
Negaunee Police Department (as long as supplies last).
If
you have any questions regarding Permits To Purchase,
the registration process or anything not covered in
this document you may contact the Negaunee Police Department
via telephone at 475-4154 or email your questions to:
