In Iowa, citizens who wish to carry a firearm outside the home must obtain an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons (PCW).  In this section of the website, we hope to provide as much information as possible about the PCW.  Bear in mind that this website is not a subsitute for doing your homework!  You are responsible for your actions, and verifying that the information you get from this site is still valid.

Iowa Carry goes to great lengths to verify that the information we present here is valid and correct.  It is up to you to make sure that you are acting in compliance with any local, state, or federal firearms law, regardless of the information posted here.
