What is required in order to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Iowa?

  1. A valid driver's license

  2. A Permit to Acquire or a Permit to Carry Weapons

  3. Completion of a firearms safety course

  4. A state ID

The correct answer is: A Permit to Acquire or a Permit to Carry Weapons

A valid driver's license or state ID is not required to purchase a handgun in Iowa. While it is important to have a valid ID for the transaction, it is not a specific requirement for purchasing a handgun. Completion of a firearms safety course is also not a requirement, although it is always recommended to pursue proper training when obtaining a firearm. The correct requirement is a Permit to Acquire or a Permit to Carry Weapons, which must be obtained from the county sheriff's office. These permits indicate that the individual has passed a background check and is legally eligible to purchase a handgun.
