CO2 Launchers and Michigan Law
Michigan requires a purchase license for conventional handguns, but CO2-powered self defense launchers are not classified as firearms under Michigan law or federal law. Residents in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Flint, and throughout the state can purchase one online and have it shipped directly to their home with no restrictions.
Michigan's diverse landscape — from Detroit's urban neighborhoods to the Upper Peninsula's remote forests — creates varied personal safety needs. The CO2 launcher is effective in both environments, providing less-lethal protection at up to 60 feet without any administrative requirements.
