What must an individual do to legally sell a handgun to another person in Iowa?

Notify the local police department
Ensure the buyer has a Permit to Acquire Pistols/Revolvers
Provide a bill of sale
Register the sale with the state

The correct answer is: Ensure the buyer has a Permit to Acquire Pistols/Revolvers

In order to legally sell a handgun to another person in Iowa, the seller must ensure that the buyer has a Permit to Acquire Pistols/Revolvers. Option A is incorrect because there is no requirement to notify the police department when privately selling a handgun. Option C is incorrect because while a bill of sale is recommended for record-keeping purposes, it is not legally required for private handgun sales in Iowa. Option D is incorrect because there is no state registration for handguns in Iowa. Only certain models of assault weapons are required to be registered with the state.
