If you want to carry a concealed firearm in Iowa, you need to obtain a separate permit from your local sheriff's office. These permits cost $50, and are good for 5 years.
SF 2379 was enacted in 2010 and took effect January 1, 2011. The bill made significant changes to Iowa Code Ch. 724 regarding weapons permits. Given that the Nonprofessional Permit to Carry Weapons is valid for five years, many permit holders issued a permit in 2011 are now seeking information about renewals.
