I live in the gun friendly state of Indiana, and my best buddy lives in the not so friendly Michigan. I have stumbled across a Tokarev at a great price that I would like to give to him as a gift for agreeing to be the godfather of my daughter. It's an old Norinco 213 9mm that comes with a hard case for transport/storage. It was imported legally as it has the wonky manual safety.
He wants to stay legal, of course, but reading up on the MI laws is a little confusing. Basically, he would like to know exactly what he would need to do in order to transport the gun from IN, through Ohio by car, and keep it legal in MI. He isn't interesting in carrying the pistol for self defense, but he would like to be able to transport it to and from the gun range for target practice.
Could any of you guys be so kind as to give us the basic idea of what he needs to do in order to be Kosher in the eyes of the MI law? I'm just going to give it to him, but does he need a bill of sale or something? He lives in Plymouth (basically right outside of Detroit) if that helps at all.
Thanks so much in advance.
