Pistol Purchase Inspection

Pistol/Revolver Purchase Permits and Pistol/Revolver Inspections are provided to the residents of the City of Bloomfield Hills.

To obtain a Purchase Permit an appointment must be made with the Chief or his designated representative by calling (248) 644-4200. The process will take approximately 20 minutes for the 15 question written test and background check.  Upon passing the written test with 70% or higher and a clear background check you will be issued a Purchase Permit valid for 10 days.

After the pistol/revolver has been purchased you will need to bring the cased/boxed unloaded weapon to the station for the required inspection that will take approximately 15 minutes.

Special procedures exist for a resident who has come into possession of a pistol/revolver through inheritance or purchased outside of Michigan and they want to have them inspected.  Contact the Chief (248) 644-4200 for the current process required by the State.

CCW, Carry Concealed Weapons Permits, are obtainable through Oakland County Sheriffs Department Gun Registration Bureau (248) 858-5015
