Firearms Defense in Oakland County and Beyond

There are different weapons that can be used in a crime or even just used by an individual for other purposes. The law restricts the use of certain weapons; prohibiting some altogether, requiring a permit for some and limiting the area and type of use regarding some weapons. Shotguns and rifles can be purchased without a weapon, however, hand gun purchase and use will require a permit in the state, along with the necessity of registering the weapon.
