Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Safety Course Practice Exam

Michigan CPL holders must renew their license every 5 years. While it may seem convenient to have a longer renewal period, it is important for CPL holders to regularly review and update their knowledge and skills in order to ensure the safety of themselves and others. A longer renewal period could lead to outdated knowledge and potentially dangerous situations. Additionally, having CPL holders renew their license every year would be a burden and potentially discourage them from obtaining or maintaining their license. Every 3 or 10 years could also be too infrequent for regular review and training. Therefore, the 5 year renewal period strikes a balance between safety and convenience.
