What type of firearm safety training is required for a Permit to Carry Weapons in Iowa?

  1. NRA-certified firearms safety course

  2. Any online or in-person firearms training course

  3. Hunter education course if under the age of 20

  4. Any course taught by an instructor certified by the Iowa Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: Any course taught by an instructor certified by the Iowa Department of Public Safety

A Permit to Carry Weapons in Iowa requires a specific type of firearm safety training. Option A is incorrect because an NRA-certified course may not necessarily cover all the necessary topics for the permit. Option B is also incorrect because not all online or in-person training courses may fulfill the requirements set by the Iowa Department of Public Safety. Option C is only applicable to individuals under the age of 20 and does not mention the specific requirements for a permit. Option D is the correct answer as it explicitly mentions that the course must be taught by an instructor certified by the Iowa Department of Public Safety, ensuring that all necessary topics are covered.
