The law of weapons in Iowa governs the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of Iowa in the United States.
On January 1, 2011, Iowa became a "must issue" state of permission to bring a weapon to someone. Applicants must successfully complete an approved training course.
Iowa will respect the legal permits issued by other countries. One should not be a resident of the country from which the permit was issued. However, Iowa residents must have Iowa Permission To Carry to legally carry firearms to his person in Iowa.
A Permit To Acquire (PTA), obtained from the sheriff from the applicant's residence area, is required when buying or buying a gun, either from a dealer or from a private party. The Acquisition License will be granted to qualified applicants aged 21 and older. PTA becomes valid three days after the date of application, and is valid for five years. A PTA is not required when purchasing an antique gun, defined as made on or before 1898 and includes a post-1898 replica of a needle lock, flintlock, or percussion gun.
Iowa residents with permission to carry (PTC) may use PTC as a substitute for PTA when obtaining a gun. PTC is valid for 5 years.
Iowa has ratified state laws on firearms, so local government units may not restrict ownership, possession, or transfer of firearms, or request their registration.
Under Iowa law, private citizens may not have automatic firearms, firearms "other than rifles or rifles, cannons, guns, revolvers or rifles" with holes over 6/10 inches (unless it is antiques made on or before 1898), or explosive, burner, or toxic gas-destroying devices. Sound suppressors ("silencers"), short barrel rifles (barrels under 16 inches), and short barrel rifles (barrels under 18 inches) can be owned if federally registered.

Rules governing power usage
Reasonable Style
Sufficient in fear of threats to self or others. A reasonable person will also be afraid of physical threats to themselves or others, and will agree that some level of power is needed to end the threat. Any power used should make sense for the situation. Any level of force used to end a threat must be the minimum required level of strength, and it may not exceed the threat itself. Iowa Code 704.1 Reasonable strength
Deadly Force
Must be immediately afraid of death or major damage to yourself or others. The threat must be immediate and must be so serious that a reasonable person will be afraid of death or great physical damage. Large or serious physical damage is a significant or life-threatening injury. Must be an innocent party. You can not be seen as the person who started or increased the conflict. There is no smaller or enough power available to stop the threat. If you can stop the threat with something less than deadly force, you should do it. Must have no reasonable means to back off or escape. If you can retreat, you should. However, you do not have to put yourself or your loved ones in greater danger by retreating.
