Here is the info. You have to fill out their application and apply with the Commisioner. You will also have to show certification on the range. Propbably the best thing would be find a class there and see if they will do the paperwork for you.Chaplin wrote:Hi,
I travel to Iowa every couple of years; currently I am waiting for my Texas CHL. I would like a Iowa permit. The Iowa gov. site indicate they issue out of state CHL without county restrictions (good old boys) but it does not tell how or who.

IOWA Iowa Admin Rules
Iowa Statute 724.7 Nonprofessional permit to carry weapons.
Any person who can reasonably justify going armed may be issued a nonprofessional permit to carry weapons. Such permits shall be on a form prescribed and published by the commissioner of public safety, which shall be readily distinguishable from the professional permit, and shall identify the holder thereof, and state the reason for the issuance of the permit, and the limits of the authority granted by such permit.
All permits so issued shall be for a definite period as established by the issuing officer, but in no event shall exceed a period of twelve months.
Iowa Statute 724.11 Issuance of permit to carry weapons.
Applications for permits to carry weapons shall be made to the sheriff of the county in which the applicant resides. Applications from persons who are nonresidents of the state, or whose need to go armed arises out of employment by the state, shall be made to the commissioner of public safety. In either case, the issuance of the permit shall be by and at the discretion of the sheriff or commissioner, who shall, before issuing the permit, determine that the requirements of sections 724.6 to 724.10 have been satisfied. However, the training program requirements in section 724.9 may be waived for renewal permits. The issuing officer shall collect a fee of ten dollars, except from a duly appointed peace officer or correctional officer, for each permit issued. Renewal permits or duplicate permits shall be issued for a fee of five dollars. The issuing officer shall notify the commissioner of public safety of the issuance of any permit at least monthly and forward to the commissioner an amount equal to two dollars for each
permit issued and one dollar for each renewal or duplicate permit issued. All such fees received by the commissioner shall be paid to the treasurer of state and deposited in the operating account of the department of public safety to offset the cost of administering this chapter. Any unspent balance as of June 30 of each year shall revert to the general fund as provided by section 8.33.
