FYI, as of January 1st 2011, Iowa's bill SF 2379 became law. CCW is now legal in Iowa and they accept out of state and non-resident CCW permits:

Good news for us all, but especially good news for those of who live in the midwest.

good stuff..

From the looks of it, it seems wisconsin is going to join them very shortly. Its sad how a state is going to go from no issue to shall issue while NJ just continues to rot here.

I wish people people would stop calling NJ "Shall issue", yeah, I know, the statutes permit it. No one who makes the decisions permit carry, but technically, it's possible.

 

It's "No Issue" with some limited exceptions.

 

It's kind of like mixing Ice Cream(Carry) with Dog poop(denials), in the end it tastes more like the latter than the former.

My in-laws are in Iowa and we visit them somewhat regularly. I was carrying concealed on Jan 1.

Just a minor correction...IA went from May Issue to Shall Issue on Jan 1. They had carry permits...but whether you got one depended on you local sheriff.

 

They honor ALL out of state permits...issued to non-IA residents. B)

NJ is actually an NFW state instead of CCW state.

Iowa now has reciprocity with FL and recognizes UT

NFW - "No Fcukin Way"?
