Iowans, we need your help. Right now the Family Defense Act has made it out of committee and is waiting for a vote among the entire House and Senate. If passed Moms and Dads, like you, would no longer have to risk being turned into a felon for lawfully carrying while picking up or dropping off your children at school. If we can get the Family Defense Act signed into law employers will no longer be allowed to ban their employees from keeping firearms in their vehicle. Your county courthouse is the people’s property, and the peoples right to carry in their building must be restored. This bill, which would improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of permit-holding Iowans, cannot fall victim to passive legislators due to inaction. The legislative funnel has passed and the time for the Iowa Legislature to bring IFC priority legislation forward is NOW! Right now, that gun-free zone sign outside your kid’s school is worthless. It’s worse than worthless, it’s endangering your kids. That sign currently makes a felon out of any Permit to Carry holding Iowan who chooses to carry the tools to protect their most valuable assets – our kids. Criminals and drugged out crazies aren’t deterred by those signs, but you know who is? Us. The reasonable, honest Iowans, who want to go about our business without breaking the law peacefully. This change is long overdue, but it won’t happen without you making your voice heard. Click Here to Message Your Legislators! The current law is absurd. We know it. You know. What we need your help with is, getting this message to those who have the power to change that law — Iowa legislators.

Action Alert – Firearm Bills Active in IA!
I’m a veteran, I have worked in armed security/body guard, police officer and chief of police.
I became disabled in 2005 and decided to start a business as a firearms instructor and became certified, I have taught my 5 kids and some of their friends on the small range on our property, that’s what I enjoyed. I received my FFL to help pay some of the bills.
I know that is a lot of reading but, I want everyone to understand that while I have some knowledge in this field, I seek more.
Question,
How do we make sure that ccw permit holders, have proper training? I know there are online tests for as little as $30 you take that to prove you took a class to the sheriff’s office and get your permit? I have talked to a few that told me that they had never fired more than a box of rounds from their weapon.
At some point Iowa will no longer require you to have a ccw. I’m seeking more info and training about this, I’m concerned we will have folks with no real training.
Thanks and again, sorry for the long read.

Not only do I think the (Law Abiding) parents of the kids in these schools should be allowed to have weapons in their cars or trucks to protect their very own children. It’s my opinion that the schools, should be doing a better job of protecting the children after they arrive and remain inside the school. All signs telling every would be shooter this is a gun free zone, should immediately remove.
