How to Purchase a Gun in Iowa

How to Purchase a Gun in Iowaの手順について徹底ガイドします。分かりやすいガイドをご覧ください。

If you want to carry a concealed handgun—or even open carry in many places—you’ll need a Permit to Carry Weapons. This isn’t required to buy a gun, but it’s like buying a fancy holster for your ego. To get one, you’ll need to take a 4-hour training class. That’s right: four hours of learning about safety, laws, and why you shouldn’t shoot the neighbor’s cat, even if it looks at you funny.

The class is usually fun. You’ll shoot at paper targets, miss a few, and then get a certificate that feels more prestigious than a doctorate in potato farming. Then you take that paper to your county sheriff, pay roughly $50, and wait 30 to 60 days. Pro tip: don’t lose the certificate. If you do, you’ll have to re-take the class, which is basically paying for a sarcastic instructor to tell you “keep your finger off the bang switch” again.
