CCW in Michigan

Is there a mandatory sentence for CCW in MI? My friend was pulled over and they found a gun in his tool box that he used for work but did not register it. Now we are afraid he will have to do a mandatory amount anyways.

Without knowing the exact charge, it's not possible to know the penalty. This seems like the most likely statute:

Quote:

---

Quoting MCL 750.227 - Concealed weapons; carrying; penalty.

---

(1) A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged nonfolding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business or on other land possessed by the person.

(2) A person shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.
