Hi, Jow Forums. I've never been able to own a gun in my life because I've been living with a felon for the last 20 years of my life, but I want to get into it now that I'm free. Thing is, I'm planning on moving to Iowa and I don't know how good it is to own a firearm there. Are they more relaxed or super strict about it? I suppose be could just make this a thread about states in general, but I'd like someone to redpill me on Iowa because whenever I look up anything I just get outdated articles

Your best bet is moving to a different country bro.

They are more on the free end of things, not WY, AZ, KS, AK tier of great gun laws but better than average and other midwestern states. In the last couple years they’ve gotten a lot better. NFA items are now legal, got rid of a faggy law about kids 14 and under not being able to shoot pistols, and I think something about defensive use also (not castle doctrine but similar concept). I think it’s something like 1 in 8 people have a CCW license which is on the high end of states. Downsides are a lack of public land to shoot on but that’s mostly it.

> still no pre 86 machine gun ownership
What the hell man
> lack of public land
Plenty of farmers to befriend though. Just ask em if you can hunt on their land or make an ad looking for land to hunt in.

We have castle doctrine thanks
But yeah shitty that no constitutional carry yet but they're working on it, permit to purchase is a joke

Talk to a lawyer about getting your record expunged. I don't need to tell you that now is not the time to get a wild hair up your arse, you will be skylined.

Yeah the permit to purchase is stupid. I did an online class for my carry license and that takes very little time so it’s been little inconvenience for me.

I didn’t know about the pre 86 machine gun piece. I was just happy that silencers became allowed recently.
Honestly don’t have $10k+ to drop on an mg so I didn’t pay much attention to that I guess. Plus a “bottle opener” hobby is much cheaper

I come from Alabama, living in Iowa now.
It's a shall issue state now, but as others have mentioned permit to purchase. I have had no issues buying guns and getting permit to carry though so really a non issue for me.

Not an Ameriburger, so serious question: did anyone during the freedom fries period complain or ask to change the Iowa flag to a more Freedom Lovin' design?
Jonathan Baker
Only bad things are pistol purchase permit and no machine guns. Constitutional/permitless carry would be nice though. Otherwise pretty dang good. If you're gonna get a pistol permit just get a CCW instead, the application is the same except for the training requirement. Training can be done online.
Find some fun stuff on Armslist too.

What kind of a felony. If it was a federal offense your fucked.

Iowa is pretty cool. Hit me up if you're gonna be around Ames and we can go shooting.
Hudson Ward
Maybe, but no Iowans would've gone for it. We have a lot of pride in our state and no faggot is gonna get us to change anything about it.
Jose Ward
The black market exists for people like you just so you know
Sebastian Gutierrez
How many of you faggots can't read? The OP said he was living with a felon, i.e. one of his family members is a felon. He is now moving out, so he can buy funs.
Bentley Cook
out of all midwest flags, I'd agree it's the best.
