Sound Suppressors in Michigan and Obtaining One

This post explains how to actually obtain a sound suppressor (silencer) in Michigan and comes from Steve Dulan of MCRGO.

As was discussed last week in this column, silencers have been confirmed to be allowed in Michigan by a recent Attorney General’s Opinion (http://www.michigan.gov/ag/)
