Open carry is fine in Iowa, if you want to find out what prison food tastes like! [:@]

The only time open carry is legal is if you are actively engaged in hunting or target shooting. Anywhere else in public, and you'll not get a warm reception from law enforcement.

CCW is Iowa is a whole different story... let's just say that it's "legal", but there is not equal representation under the law for CCW in Iowa. We are "may issue".
