Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Safety Course Practice Exam

The correct answer is B: Fingerprinting and criminal background check.

In Michigan, the CPL application process requires applicants to undergo fingerprinting and a thorough criminal background check. This is crucial to ensure that individuals obtaining a Concealed Pistol License do not have a criminal record that would disqualify them from carrying a concealed firearm legally.

While some other options mentioned may play a role in the overall CPL application process, such as a written test or a practical shooting examination in some states, they are not part of the specific Michigan CPL application process. An interview with a local sheriff also is not a required step in the Michigan CPL application process.
