CPL Renewal Information 1. An application to renew a CPL may be submitted to the county clerk, through the CPL renewal website at www.michigan.gov/cplrenewal, o r by first-class mail to the MSP, not more than six months before, nor one year after, the expiration of the current CPL. Please make check payable to “State of Michigan.” The mailing address is: Michigan State Police Attn: Concealed Pistol License Unit P.O. Box 30634 Lansing, MI 48909 2. A CPL is valid until the applicant's date of birth that falls not less than four years or more than five years after the license is issued or renewed. 3. CPL holders will be notified that their license is approaching expiration by their county clerk between three to six months prior to the expiration of their current license. 4. Upon paying the renewal application and license fee of $115, the applicant will be issued a receipt. If renewed prior to expiration, this receipt, when carried with the expired license, shall serve as a valid CPL until the new license or notice of statutory disqualification is received. For the purposes of Michigan law, the receipt is considered to be part of the CPL until a renewal is issued or denied. 5. Possession of this receipt and expired CPL does not exempt the holder from the requirement to obtain a license to purchase a pistol or exempt a firearms dealer from running a background check prior to the sale of a pistol. 6. An application is considered a renewal if the applicant has previously received a CPL in compliance with the training requirements set forth in Michigan law effective July 1, 2001, and the previous license has not been expired more than one year. 7. An applicant applying for a renewal is not required to have fingerprints taken again if the applicant's fingerprints have been submitted to and are maintained by the MSP.

Trigger finger placement Selecting the Handgun to fit your hand will have a direct impact on how well you will shoot the gun. Just like shoes you buy a pair to fit your feet for the way you will use the shoe.

Place the handgun in your strong hand and align it as a natural extension of your arm.

The trigger finger should be able to be placed on the trigger midway between the end of the finger and the first joint. The goal is to pull the trigger straight back into your grip hand. See Fig A below

Figure B usually results when the handgun trigger distance is too short, and the shooter will place the trigger finger too far across the trigger creating a pull off center to the right to the right.

&ŝŐƵƌĞ Đ an result when the trigger distance is to long and the trigger can only be reachedby the tipofthe finger causing the handgun to be pulled to the left.
