Detroit CPL

Detroit CPL doesn't run a quick checkbox class. They run what Michigan actually requires: 8-10 hours of documented instruction from certified instructors—and they're brutal about the difference between that and the illegal alternatives floating around Metro Detroit.

Michigan law requires legal instruction from either a lawyer admitted to the Michigan Bar or an active, licensed law enforcement officer. Most CPL instructors in Michigan skip this. Detroit CPL doesn't. That's not marketing talk—it's the difference between a legitimate certificate the county will accept and felony charges for both you and your instructor (4-10 years prison time, no joke).

The class breaks down like this:

Online Portion (Zoom) - 5 hours conducted online, scheduled in advance - Legal requirements for Michigan CPL holders - Safe handling, operating, and storage fundamentals - Concealment laws specific to Michigan

Range Portion (Live) - Conducted at Target Sports gun range in Keego Harbor (Bloomfield Hills Township) - Hands-on shooting instruction - Live fire demonstration - Certificate of completion after finishing both sections

No hidden fees. Many other Michigan CPL instructors bury $40+ gun rental costs or don't mention ammo prices upfront. Detroit CPL breaks it down completely.

You take the class, get the certificate, and apply for your CPL through your county. Detroit CPL explains the entire process A-to-Z in the class—where to submit, what paperwork you need, processing times, everything.

Classes are taught by certified law enforcement officers and civilians with proper training credentials. Again: not just firearms enthusiasts, but people who understand Michigan law at the enforcement level.

"We offer no fluff, no-non sense, straight-to-the-point instruction on how to safely and efficiently handle a firearm for personal protection. We do not cut corners just to make an extra buck."

That's directly from their site, and it shows in their 5-star Google rating, which they've maintained since opening.

Detroit CPL also handles CPL renewals for Michigan residents whose licenses are expiring or expired.

They stock training equipment including: - Blue Gun Training replicas (Glock 17, 19, and other models) for dry-fire practice - SentrySafe pistol safes (2-pistol capacity with LED lights, starting around $164) - SentrySafe fireproof safes (1.23 cu ft with dial combination) - ST Action Pro snap caps and dummy rounds for training

If you're getting your CPL in Michigan, this is the class that does it right. You pay a little attention to compliance so you don't end up in federal court.
