Are private firearm sales between individuals regulated in Iowa?

Yes, all firearm sales require a background check
Yes, but only handguns require a permit
No, private sales are not regulated
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, but only handguns require a permit

Unlike other states, Iowa does not require a background check for private sales of rifles and shotguns, only for handguns. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer. Option A is incorrect because private firearm sales do not always require a background check in Iowa. Option D is incorrect because private sales of handguns are also regulated. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned, handguns require a permit for private sales in Iowa.
