States can be more restrictive than the Federal laws but not less. What sky is talking about I think is just doing the NICS check at a different time - it happens when you apply for the permit, and the permit is the proof that the check was okay. Fulfills the federal requirement.
In Michigan, I have to get a state pistol permit to buy any handgun - I have to go to the police station, take a short written safety test, and pay $5 for the notary service. They give me the permit, which is good for 7 days; I have to buy the handgun during those 7 days, still have to do the instant check in the store, then I have to bring the weapon back to the police for a safety inspection. Of course it then also becomes registered locally. This is only for handguns.
The other MI law that's kind of a PITA is that no weapon can be sold without a trigger lock. When I called to pickup my HK 94, my FFL guy said he was out of trigger locks, so since I was in a hurry doing this on my lunch break, I went home and got one and gave it to him so he could include it with my rifle, then we both signed a state form that says the gun left his premises with a trigger lock.
