in Iowa, Black Hawk county, do paperwork for background check, then talk to Sherrif, then take class

$80.00 for class (ammo included)
think it was $10.00 for background check & $15.00 for permit
did shoot 20 rounds in class
classroom and range time about 5 1/2 hours
18 men in class

Took a written (needed 80%to pass)and shooting test (needed score of 60 at 20 yards).
The guys shot best with .22's of course. Some counties in Iowa won't even let you qualify with a 22.

Many counties in IAwon't give a permit. Sherrif just says no.
