Not exactly correct, G-G. I don't think Michigan actually calls it "registration". It's called a "License to Purchase", which you must have to "acquire" a handgun, regardless of where you got it. Even if you already own the gun when you come into the state, or inherit it from someone, you have to have the License to Purchase. If I give my wife one of my pistols to take with her, she has to have a License to Purchase.
When you purchase a handgun, you have to bring it to the local police or sheriff for a "safety inspection". Of course, the so-called safety inspection consists of copying down the serial number. I'm sure you could bring in a gun with the barrel plugged and it would pass the safety inspection.
Holders of Concealed Pistol Licenses are not required to get a purchase license to buy a handgun, or to carry someone else's gun. This, in itself, is reason enough to go through the hassle of getting a CPL.
Individuals don't have to require a buyer to have a License to Purchase for a private sale. But you would have to be out of your gourd not to do so. If you ever sell a handgun to someone in Michigan, make sure the transaction takes place at the sheriff's department or police station. Otherwise you're taking a huge risk.
Interestingly, I don't consider the handgun purchase laws in Michigan and Illinois to be that onerous. In my experience, the hands-down winner for worst pistol purchase laws was North Carolina. In NC, I suppose there is some law that governs pistol purchases, but here is how it is actually practiced: Do you have a friend in the sheriff's department? If yes, you can buy a handgun. Is there someone in the sheriff's department who doesn't like you? If yes, then forget about it. If the answer to both questions is "no", then MAYBE you can purchase.
