What is the minimum age to apply for a Permit to Acquire Pistols/Revolvers in Iowa?

  1. 18 years

  2. 19 years

  3. 21 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Iowa, the minimum age to apply for a Permit to Acquire Pistols/Revolvers is 21 years. This is because the state law requires that an individual must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or possess a handgun. Option A and B are incorrect because they both fall below the minimum age requirement. Option D, 25 years, is incorrect because while an individual may be allowed to purchase a handgun at this age, it is not the minimum age allowed by state law. Therefore, option C, 21 years, is the correct answer.
