Michigan's gun laws are much stricter than Virginia, according to data compiled by the National Rifle Association. First, Michigan residents have to get a permit from their local police or sheriff\'s department. And some of those municipalities OK permits -- after background checks -- only on certain days of the week. Michigan requires permits to buy handguns and fingerprints from those who apply. People who want a handgun have to score at least a 70 percent on a pistol safety questionnaire. In Virginia, a court can request a safety test when someone applies for a concealed pistol license permit, but it is not required. Virginia law forbids handguns on elementary, middle and high school grounds during school hours, while Michigan adds college dormitories and classrooms to the list. Beyond the gun laws, most universities have policies limiting or prohibiting guns on campus. \"Guns are not permitted on campus, anywhere, even with a permit,\" said Francine Wunder, director of corporate and public affairs at Wayne State University.
