What type of background check is required when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Iowa?

State only background check
Federal only background check
Both state and federal background checks
No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both state and federal background checks

A This option is incorrect because Iowa requires both state and federal background checks for firearm purchases. B: This option is incorrect because Iowa requires both state and federal background checks for firearm purchases. D: This option is incorrect because Iowa requires both state and federal background checks for firearm purchases. In Iowa, both state and federal background checks are required when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. This ensures that the buyer does not have any disqualifying factors, such as a criminal record or history of mental illness, that would prevent them from legally owning a firearm. While some states may only require a state background check or no background check at all, Iowa requires both to ensure the safety of its citizens.
