Which of the following firearms qualifies for a Michigan Concealed Pistol License?

  1. Short-barreled shotgun

  2. Machine gun

  3. Pistol

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Pistol

In Michigan, a firearm qualifies for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) if it is a pistol. According to Michigan law, a pistol is defined as "any firearm designed to be worn or held in the hand and fired by the use of a single hand." Option A, a short-barreled shotgun, does not qualify for a CPL because it is not designed to be fired with one hand and does not fit the definition of a pistol. Similarly, option B, a machine gun, does not qualify for a CPL because it is not designed to be held and fired with one hand and therefore does not fit the definition of a pistol. Option D, "None of the above," is incorrect because as stated before, a pistol does qualify for a CPL in Michigan. Hence, the correct answer is C, a pistol.
