It also specifically mentioned concealed carry in that section. I think the point here is that section 'i" from below allows for open and concealed carry with the iowa permit.
"i. A person who has in the person’s possession and who displays to a peace officer on demand a valid permit to carry weapons which has been issued to the person, and whose conduct is within the limits of that permit. A person shall not be convicted of a violation of this section if the person produces at the person’s trial a permit to carry weapons which was valid at the time of the alleged offense and which would have brought the person’s conduct within this exception if the permit had been produced at the time of the alleged offense."
In Iowa it's a carry permit, not a concealed carry permit. I will see if I can find some more authoritative reference for open carry though and get back to you.
