Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Classes

The training you need to apply for a Michigan CPL.

The state of Michigan grants a concealed pistol license (CPL) to applicants who have completed approved firearms training. The CPL class is that training: one day, with classroom instruction and live fire at the range. You leave with the certificate you take to your county clerk when you apply.

The class is built on the US Concealed Carry Association Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals course.

Ghostrider Defense is not posting its own dates at the moment. The list below shows the next classes from certified instructors across the US Gun Classes Michigan network, closest to you first. Each listing shows its own price, location and start time.

No experience needed

Beginners are the norm, and many students are shooting for the first time. You are coached at your own pace, and questions are welcome at any point in the day.

What the day looks like

The order changes from instructor to instructor, but every CPL class covers the same ground: firearm safety and how pistols work, shooting fundamentals, Michigan law on carrying and the use of force, a written test, and live fire with coaching on the range. See the full list of topics.

After the class

Take your certificate to your county clerk, fill out the application, get fingerprinted and pay the state fees. The clerk’s office handles it from there and your license arrives by mail.
