iowa's carry law

[justwannano]

One of the more important things I was gonna do at the convention was to attend the DNR's presentation on the new carry law.
Well I don't know what the hell I was doing but I missed it.
Could someone please sum up what was said?
Thanks

Yes, someone please let us know, I missed it too. My CCW permit expires 10-19-10 what do I need to get done?

Well I didn't get to watch it either, I was at the coyote trapping seminar that Mark did but I do know a little about the CCW and the new laws that will happen. But ADC make sure you go renew it before that day so you don't have to retake the course and plus pay more money! Its only 15 bucks to renew but you will have the option to do the new 5 year one too I heard. The new law SF 2379 comes in to play on the first in January of 2011. And that's no restrictions, all 99 counties are 'shall issue' so no questions ask. Don't have to to register with the county sheriff's anymore or don't have to do training course with sheriff either, you have a choice to have a trained gun instructor to do the test. You can openly carry also if wanted to with the conceal permit. Hopefully this helped out and answered some questions.

I would renew your permit. With the new law everyone needs to go though the class again to get there permit and if you have a permit that will over lap it gives you time to go though the class again. you still have to fallow game laws like what you can shot from the ditch or row. there was a rumor that you could not shot a hand gun in the ditch anymore this is false.

If you have time to read it here it is. It is now going to be a 5 year permit and you will have to either take the class/test or qualify at a state held range every 5 years and it will cost you 50.00 plus your range fee or class fee. I just got done taking it and that is what the range officers told us. LLL

The way it was explained was if your current permit expires before 1 Jan. 2011 renew it then when it expires in 2011 you can get the new one. The way I understood them if you have a Honorable Military discharge you don't have to take any class. I hope thats correct!

Meandean it reads to me that a DD214 should be sufficient .
