I don't think so. Rarely, I guess.

Yes. All states MUST honor the valid permits of other states pursuant to the full faith and credit clause of the US Constitution.
This was tested a few years ago in Ohio. Pizza delivery drivers who lived accross the river in Kentucky were delivering pizzas in Cincinatti. The drivers had valid permits to carry from their home state of KY, and were carrying pistols in OH. The Cincinatti police arrested them and charged them with carrying without a valid permit. The drivers appealed their convictions, and the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against them. The drivers appealed further , and the United States Supreme Court overturned the verdicts citing the full faith and credit clause of the US Constitution. I'll look for the case citation and re-post if I can find it.
Two caveats: 1) If you move out of state, your old permit may no longer be valid. Your new state of residence can make you get a new permit there. 2) Despite the above, all cops don't necessarily know the law. While you will eventually prevail, it doesn't mean you won't get arrested first by some overzealous officer.

The only way that a CCW permit would be valid out of state would be if there was a reciprocity agreement between the States in question. Exception would be a federal officer, which can be armed in any State.

This information is available at nra.org, website of the National Rifle Association. Many states do offer reciprocal concealed carry rights, and nearly all states now permit concealed carry. Don't guess. That Michagain state trooper might not smile at you if you're wrong.

Usually, a permit from one state is honored in another, but check first. Go to your local court house and ask.

Check with Michigan before you take it. Every state is different. Most don't accept licenses from other states though...
