Today, SF 2379 passed the Iowa House of Representatives by a vote of 80-15! After a return to the already-friendly Senate on a procedural matter (the bill has already passed the Senate on a 44-4 vote), the bill will go to Governor Culver, who has already indicated he will sign this legislation!

In a nutshell, this is "Shall Issue", five-year term, honors all other states' permits (so long as the holder is not an Iowa resident), maintains preemption of local laws, has an appeal process for denied applicants, and retraining qualifications can be met by qualifying fire with an NRA-certified trainer. Your DD 214 will suffice for initial issue, as will NRA handgun courses, and several other trainings to be recognized.
Upon Governor Culver's signature, and effective 1/1/2011, Iowa will join the 38 other states who now enjoy "Shall Issue", and will fully honor non-residents' licenses issued by any state. If you're an Illinois or Wisconsin resident, get your Utah or Florida license, and come visit the newest "gun friendly" state in the nation. For others, Iowa will now extend the recognition that 14 of your states have extended to us for all these years now.
Thanks to all for your support, be it visible, verbal, or just in spirit.
It's a great day for Iowa!
