Can a Criminal Charge Take Away Your Gun Rights in Michigan?

best criminal defense attorney Ann Arbor

There are thousands of proud gun owners and enthusiasts in Michigan. Michigan residents use firearms for many reasons, including hobbies (target shooting), recreational sports (hunting), and home or self-protection. Many go the extra mile and apply for a permit to carry their guns in a concealed fashion through a Concealed Pistol License (often called a “CPL,” or “Carry Permit”).
 

What happens when a proud gun owner is charged with a crime in Michigan? Can the State take away a person’s right to own, possess, buy or carry a firearm?  The short answer is “Yes.”  Many criminal charges and convictions can result in a prohibition against owning, purchasing and possessing guns.
