Iowa Concealed Carry CCW Laws and Information


Right-To-Carry Law Type: Reasonable May Issue. Chapter 724 of the Iowa Code authorizes the commissioner of the Iowa Department of Public Safety to provide forms for use by sheriffs for acquiring handguns or for carrying weapons. The forms, procedures and training requirements are further defined in

Administrative Rules, 661, Chapter 4. Although these forms are available for downloading from this site, they are primarily being provided for informational purposes.
