What? Reciprocity has nothing to do with the PFZ we have to abide by in Michigan. We have such great recognition because
1. We recognize all states resident permits
2. We require training with live fire
3. We require the person getting the permit to be 21
4. Our permits expire after five years (yes believe it or not the fact that it expires in that amount of time actually helps us)
5. We do background checks including a fingerprinting
There may be some others but those def have a lot to do with it. The PFZ in Michigan really don't have anything to do with the states Michigan residents can carry in. And tell you the truth I'd like to see us do something like what North Dakota does and make a "class 2" permit. The permit would not require training, no fingerprinting, make the minimum age 18, and last longer than 5 years. While it would not be recognized in many states it would be great for people who don't really leave the state of Michigan.
