Iowa House File 2528

Iowa’s Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) Laws are subjective and not in step with The Constitution of the United States, they need to be amended.   There is a bill in the Iowa House that would bring Iowa Law more instep with the Constitution and what is right.  Please check out H.F. 2528 and let your local representatives know how you feel.

Right now in the State of Iowa, each county sheriff chooses whether or not to issue CCW permits and to whom and who not to issue them.  This is a totally subjective procedure to which there is no recourse if you are denied.  This bill would change that and make the State of Iowa a “shall issue” state, meaning that unless a predefined reason can be demonstrated by the issuing authority, a CCW permit shall be issued to all that apply.

There are other points in the bill that are worth considering as well, like the length of time that a CCW permit is valid, and the ability of the State of Iowa to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states, as well as the education requirements for obtaining and retaining CCW permits.
