michigan firearm exemptions?

[crash]

does anyone know if michigan has any firearm exemptions? if so is it by number of firearms or value? the form i am filling out asks, for value of firearms, sports, photographic, and other hobby equipment. also my attorney mentioned that i could use a $10,000 wild card exemption, did i misunderstand this? is it supposed to be $1000? i do not own any real estate property if that matters.

thanks for the helpful info on this site. been reading here for a few days now and decided to join.

Michigan doesn't have a specific "firearms" exemption as does some midwestern States do. You could possibly cover it under "hobby" or sporting equipment.

As far as I've read, there's no $10K wildcard in Michigan; Michigan doesn't even have a wildcard. But, Michigan is one of those States where you can choose between the Michigan exemptions or the Federal Exemptions. Since you're not a homeowner, you get the Federal unused homestead exemption which , combined with the Federal wildcard, is about $10K.

thanks for the info on the unused homestead exemption. i guess that is what he was referring to ($10k) wild card.

could someone tell me if these amounts look like they would be a problem to exempt. i see the atty in a few days, and just wondering before hand. i am in michigan. could they be listed under the wildcard, if not exempt under hobby?

Sorry to threadjack (ironic with a gun topic ) I think I can cover all of my firearms under CA's exemption limits, but I was wondering about selling or transferring them after I file for CH13. Does anybody know if that is an issue? I was going to legally transfer two to my son on his 18th birthday... which will be about a month after I file.
