What is NOT a disqualifier for obtaining a firearm permit in Iowa?

  1. Felony conviction

  2. Being under 21 years of age

  3. Non-violent misdemeanor conviction

  4. Drug addiction

The correct answer is: Non-violent misdemeanor conviction

The other options are incorrect because in Iowa, a non-violent misdemeanor conviction is not a disqualifier for obtaining a firearm permit. However, a felony conviction, being under 21 years of age, and drug addiction are all disqualifiers. This means that if an individual has a felony conviction, is under the age of 21, or is addicted to drugs, they will not be able to obtain a firearm permit in Iowa. It is important to note that while a non-violent misdemeanor conviction is not a disqualifier, other factors such as mental health history and domestic violence convictions may still impact an individual's eligibility for a firearm permit.
