I just find the wording extremely odd and non-definative . The offensive weapons part was omited, but i see nothing that says sbs and sbr are now legal to buy/own/make. Thats what i really need to see to get my good feelings and to get excited. You would think that if somethings that is an NFA item (and so scary) would have a crystal clear explination like the suppressor statement. View Quote 1 3 Section 1.

Does anyone from IFC actually come here? I thought in the past they had. I still would like to know what changes to the permitting process were included. We were hearing about lifetime permits before. Seems that was removed? Why was that removed if so? What are the changes in the process? I have heard there were still changes made to the permitting process several places, but no specifics. Thanks for any help anyone may have answering my question. Thanks.
Also if Lifetime permits were removed will that be brought up again next legislative cycle? I want more winning please I for one do not get sick of winning |

I can't carry on city property, and the same for county property.
Did this bill address that? ...and I'm more confused than BigPony on what changes were made to the licence process. The impression I get is there is no change in the process to get a carry permit. No lifetime deal. No requirement to shoot at a range. Right? Wrong? Purchase permits. I heard they are good for five years. True? Choice of one year or five year? Just the one year purchase permit? Just a five year purchase permit (at what cost)? |

The impression I get is there is no change in the process to get a carry permit. Renewal permits no longer need training within 12 months. Just pay fee and it gets renewed No lifetime deal. Yep this was removed. No requirement to shoot at a range. There is no requirement for range shooting now or in this bill Right? Wrong? Purchase permits. I heard they are good for five years. True? Right now they are one year, after the bill is signed they will be five year permits. Remember your permit to carry works like a purchase permit. Choice of one year or five year?

Lifetime permits where removed, as to why? I would guess politics. The change to the carry permit process is that when you renew you no longer have to take a refresher training course. Just go in and pay the fee and done. View Quote |

Alarmist and rambling/disjointed editorial against the SYG bill, from a writer who claims to be both on the board for the anti-gun group "Iowans for Gun Safety" (actually for gun bans, in their manifesto), and a member of the Izaak Walton League. Standard jumping from point-to-point while conflating unrelated issues and and failing to logically support any chain of reasoning with evidence. I wonder if that private group might want to remove from their membership someone who invokes their name in the context of being: -against allowing the possession of arms for hunting while on snowmobiles/ATVs -against suppressors and noise reduction while hunting -against personal defense from criminals -against teaching handgun safety to kids ( http://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/guest-columnists/what-does-iowans-for-gun-safety-stand-for-20160217 ), -against Equal Protection / Shall Issue ( https://www.facebook.com/pg/IA4GS/about/?ref=page_internal ), -against permit privacy |

This is a great day for gun owners in this state.
Does anyone have a link to the final bill language with the strikes removed and new language in place? |

Best. Day. Ever. in Iowa at least. Thanks to all Iowans who played even the smallest of roles up to the big dogs for getting this done.

Question for anyone here who may know...
The City of Davenport a couple years ago passed a city ordinance making it a crime to carry a firearm in city parks. I used to ride the trail a lot but always carried in a pack in case of loose dogs (which has happened to me while riding) or worse. Anyways the reasons why are technically irrelevant. One of the parts of this law pre-empts local ordinances restricting gun rights. Would that ordinance be stricken down then as of July 1? Or would it remain in effect under a sort of grandfather rule or something? Hopefully some of you smart guys here (I definitely am not one lol) knows the answer to this. |

Current law. The new bill adds to it. We shouldn't have needed to but our AG sent out an opinion letter saying towns could still set limits on their own property. To the best of my knowledge no one has been charged with violating such a law. Most cities only make resolutions with no real teeth.
724.28 Prohibition of regulation by political subdivisions.
A political subdivision of the state shall not enact an ordinance regulating the ownership, possession, legal transfer, lawful transportation, registration, or licensing of rearms when the ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation is otherwise lawful under the laws of this state. An ordinance regulating rearms in violation of this section existing on or after April 5, 1990, is void. View Quote |

So that ordinance was never really legal to begin with? As I said, I really need things spelled out simply to me, my apologies

IANL, but I would say no. It's up to you if you want to push it now. The new bill gives you standing to sue the city. I would assume loose dogs/no armed security would be a good enough reason to challenge it but once again IANL. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

So KWQC TV6 in the QC did a typical liberal shitbag story on the gun bill passage. Interviewed some lady dog from MDA who was playing up all the things they stopped from happening with the bill to keep people in Iowa safer.

Yet the question remains how Scott and Clinton Counties will no justify their metal detectors and prohibition of firearms in their respective courthouses. I guess they could claim security concerns of some sort but not sure how that would stand. View Quote As I understand it, they say "no guns allowed" because of the jail part. They intentionally closed other entrances to the building to force everyone to go through the metal detector. I suspect someone could challenge them in court to make them open the other entrances back up. |
