Which of the following is NOT a requirement for obtaining a permit to carry weapons in Iowa?

Passing a firearm safety training course
Being a United States citizen
Possessing a valid driver's license
A background check free of felony convictions

The correct answer is: Possessing a valid driver's license

The requirement to possess a valid driver's license is not explicitly mandated for obtaining a permit to carry weapons in Iowa. In Iowa, while applicants for a permit must prove their identity, they can do this using various forms of identification, not just a driver's license. Acceptable forms of ID can include state-issued identification cards or other government-issued identification. On the other hand, passing a firearm safety training course, being a United States citizen, and having a clean background check free of felony convictions are all necessary requirements for obtaining a permit to carry in Iowa. These criteria are designed to ensure that individuals who are granted permits are adequately trained, legally eligible, and suitable to carry a firearm in public settings.
