Find Your Michigan Pistol Transactions

Have you ever wondered whether your past Michigan pistol transactions are properly registered?

Did the purchaser turn in the RI-60 for the Glock you sold her? Did the licensing authority properly record the transaction for that Ruger you bought? Is a firearm you sold years ago going to show up in your name if it is used in the commission of a crime? Did you know there's a way you can check?
