active duty status with the United States armed forces under this
section to provide proof of 1 or both of the following:
(a) The person's home of record.
(b) Permanent active duty assignment in this state.
(7) The concealed weapon licensing board shall issue a license

(b) The applicant is a citizen of the United States or is an
alien lawfully admitted into the United States, is a legal resident
of this state, and has resided in this state for not less than the
6 months immediately preceding the date of application. The
concealed weapon licensing board may waive the 6-month residency
requirement for a temporary license under section 5a(8) if the
concealed weapon licensing board determines there is probable cause
to believe the safety of the applicant or the safety of a member of
the applicant's family is endangered by the applicant's inability
to immediately obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol. If the
applicant holds a valid concealed pistol license issued by another
state at the time the applicant's residency in this state is
established, the concealed weapon licensing board may waive the 6-
month waiting period and the applicant may apply for a concealed
pistol license at the time the applicant's residency in this state
is established. The concealed weapon licensing board shall
immediately issue a temporary license to that applicant. The
temporary license shall be valid until the concealed weapon
licensing board decides whether to grant or deny the application.
For the purposes of this section, a person shall be considered a
legal resident of this state if any of the following apply:

exempt under section 12a.

safe use and handling of a pistol by the successful completion of a

department of state police shall provide a copy to the submitting
sheriff's department or local police agency as appropriate and the
clerk of the appropriate concealed weapon licensing board. Except
as provided in subsection (14), the concealed weapon licensing
board shall not issue a concealed pistol license until it receives
the fingerprint comparison report prescribed in this subsection.
The concealed weapon licensing board may deny a license if an
individual's fingerprints are not classifiable by the federal
bureau of investigation.
(11) The concealed weapon licensing board shall deny a license
to an applicant to carry a concealed pistol if the applicant is not
qualified under subsection (7) to receive that license.
(12) A license to carry a concealed pistol that is issued
based upon an application that contains a material false statement
is void from the date the license is issued.
(13) Subject to subsections (10) and (14), the concealed
weapon licensing board shall issue or deny issuance of a license
within 45 days after the concealed weapon licensing board receives
the fingerprint comparison report provided under subsection (10).

license to carry a concealed pistol, the concealed weapon licensing
board shall within 5 business days do both of the following:
(a) Inform the applicant in writing of the reasons for the
denial. Information under this subdivision shall include all of the

(14) If the fingerprint comparison report is not received by
the concealed weapon licensing board within 60 days after the
fingerprint report is forwarded to the department of state police
by the federal bureau of investigation, the concealed weapon
licensing board shall issue a temporary license to carry a
concealed pistol to the applicant if the applicant is otherwise
qualified for a license. A temporary license issued under this
section is valid for 180 days or until the concealed weapon
licensing board receives the fingerprint comparison report provided
under subsection (10) and issues or denies issuance of a license to
carry a concealed pistol as otherwise provided under this act. Upon
issuance or the denial of issuance of the license to carry a
concealed pistol to an applicant who received a temporary license
under this section, the applicant shall immediately surrender the
temporary license to the concealed weapon licensing board that
issued that temporary license.
(15) If an individual licensed under this act to carry a
concealed pistol moves to a different county within this state, his

suspended or revoked under this act. A license to carry a concealed
pistol that is lost, stolen, or defaced may be replaced by the
issuing county clerk for a replacement fee of $10.00.
(16) If a concealed weapons licensing board suspends or
revokes a license issued under this act, the license is forfeited
and shall be returned to the concealed weapon licensing board
forthwith. An individual who fails to return a license as required

license was suspended or revoked is guilty of a misdemeanor
punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of
not more than $500.00, or both.
