What type of firearm does Iowa not require a permit to carry?

  1. Handguns

  2. Rifles

  3. Shotguns

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Iowa does not require a permit to carry any type of firearm, whether it be a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. This is because Iowa is a "shall issue" state, meaning that as long as an individual meets the requirements for owning a firearm, the state must issue a permit to carry. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all incorrect as Iowa does not differentiate between types of firearms for carrying permits. Option D, on the other hand, includes all types of firearms and is the correct answer.
