MICHIGAN AND THE C&R
The state of Michigan does not recognize the C&R. If a Michigan resident buys a Luger in Michigan we must have a purchase permit first. This is state law and not federal. I understand that California is like Michigan in requiring a state purchase permit by Californians within that state. But this is only for residence of these states. If a resident from another state comes to Michigan with a C&R, then they are not required to have a Michigan purchase permit. If a Michigan resident goes to, say Ohio, then a C&R can be used to buy the Ohio Luger. But the Luger must then be registered in Michigan on return to Michigan.
Since you are military, then I do not know how they deal with your state residency. Your address on your C&R may play a role in determining residency. So your military advisor may or may not be correct. You will have to check with state law. These laws are not uniform.
