I was in M...I don't think I ever updated this.<br /><br />I was in MI tending to family matters when the Governor signed this legislation into law.<br /><br />It is effective 1-1-11 and Iowa will be shall issue. A training requirement is still necessary to apply, but there many ways of meeting that requirement such as simply participating in any organized shooting event. Club/match directors can basically write something on a napkin and it will be permissible by law.<br /><br />For persons renewing their permit, either attending a class or a life fire range session with an NRA instructor etc.<br /><br />Iowa DPS has put out a nice FAQ on the matter here: http://www.dps.state.ia.us/asd/SF2379_FAQ_Version1_0.pdf<br /><br />Of note is the following:<br /><br />QUESTION: I currently have an Iowa nonprofessional permit to carry weapons issued during calendar year 2010. Will I be<br />grandfathered in, and if so, will my permit become a five year permit?<br />ANSWER: Your current Iowa nonprofessional permit will be valid until the expiration date shown on the permit (unless revoked).<br />All restrictions that appear on the current permit will remain valid. You also have the option to apply for a new unrestricted fiveyear<br />permit after January 1, 2011, and before your current permit expires.<br /><br />And<br /><br />QUESTION: Can my permit be restricted?<br />ANSWER: No. Permits issued after January 1, 2011, are valid statewide and cannot be further restricted by the issuing officer. All<br />carry permits and permits to acquire pistols or revolvers are invalid when the permit holder is intoxicated. This is defined as any<br />one of the following: 1) while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or other drug or a combination of such substances, 2)<br />while having an alcohol concentration of .08 or more, or 3) while any amount of a controlled substance is present in the person,<br />as measured in the person's blood or urine.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919662853923099268noreply@blogger.com
