A four hour course for Iowans to obtain their Permit to Carry Weapons has been scheduled in the area. The course is only four hours in length and covers handgun safety, gun handling, carry options and Iowa and Federal laws. There is no exam or range qualification. Upon completion of the four hour course, attendees will be eligible to apply for their Iowa and Arizona (non-resident) permits which will allow them to legally carry in 37 states.

Iowa law states that a person must complete a handgun safety training course to acquire an initial permit. Renewal of a current permit requires that the permit holder attend a handgun safety training course within the twelve-month period prior to the expiration of the current permit or qualify on a firing range under the supervision of a certified instructor within the twelve-month period prior to the expiration of the current permit.

Approved handgun safety training courses will be held in the Benton County area:

Tuesday, November 20 from 6 to 10 at the Vinton Fire Station

Cost of the class is $50 and pre-registration is requested to assure adequate course materials.

Register for the class at www.IAFirearmsTraining.com or call (319) 310-4724.

Anyone interested in qualifying on the firing range for renewal of a current permit is asked to use the same email address or phone to schedule a time to qualify. Cost of the qualification is $15 per hour or portion thereof.
