Is anyone knowledgeable about Michigan gun laws? After reading this... http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,4643,7...se____Transfer ...it almost sounds like you have to be registered to buy or sell pistols there. I'd call it defacto registration.

Yep. It is de facto registration. My folks live there and dad said a month ago that there is some talk of getting rid of some of the handgun requirements, especially if this coming state election goes well. With Detroit failing and zombies fleeing, Michigan is swinging back to the R side.
Good news: They will recognize your Colorado CCW permit, AND the 30rd mags flow like milk and honey. They might have better ammo availability too.

I bought a couple of pistols in 2001 when I was home on leave from the Army and each one was frustrating. You have to get a pistol purchase permit from your local police or sheriff office, then after you do the 4473 you have to take the pistol back to the place you got your permit and they do a safety inspection and issue a certificate you have to keep as a record at all times. You used to have to keep it with you, even at the range and in transport. When I bought mine, my home of record was in Portage and the clerk there told me they take a ballistics test by firing two rounds and keeping a record of the casing and projectile. Unfortunately Michigan has had the same problem Colorado is now facing, one or two large population centers make and control the laws for the rest of the state who do not agree with them.
