Michigan is a fairly gun-friendly state. CPL is available after 6 months of residency by taking an 8-hour training course and submitting a simple application. Process takes 4-8 weeks, depending on when the county gun board meetings are scheduled. No specific gun is listed on the CPL. You can take the course with a .22 and carry a .45 if you want.

Rifles and shotguns must be unloaded in vehicles and either cased or inaccessable to the occupants. Hunting license is required to carry long gun afield unless on own property or at a recognized target range.

There are no magazine capacity limits or "assault weapon" bans. Class III is allowed.

Handguns must be registered at local sheriff or police department. This can probably be done by simply submitting a list of models, calibers, barrel lengths and serial numbers.
