Is Open Carry of firearms permitted in Iowa?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, but only with a Permit to Carry

  3. No, under any circumstances

  4. Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, but only with a Permit to Carry

In Iowa, it is legal to openly carry firearms, however a Permit to Carry is required in order to do so. Option A is incorrect because a permit is actually required. Option C is incorrect as open carry is allowed in certain circumstances. Option D is incorrect because open carry is not restricted based on location in Iowa, but based on the requirement of a permit.
