Getting a concealed carry permit in Iowa

This has to be one of the easiest things I have ever done in my life. If you can come up with about $100 thats it that is all you have to do to carry a gun around in public in Iowa and show up.

I took a 3 hour class over Zoom that was easy no testing no range time just a guy talking to us and the main take away was if you are going to shoot someone Shoot to KILL!!!!

Then I filled out the paperwork for the county sheriff so I could get my permit and becouse of COVID they are not finger printing or taking photos so it was interesting.

I've wanted to get a ham radio license for a number of years and I also thought about getting my network plus certification but both of those had a lot more of a challenge in regards to testing.  I don't test that well so it was interesting on my ability to get a firearm and walk around with it vs my ability to use a radio. Or show proficiency in computer networking.

Concealed carry permit is a license to kill is long as I'm standing my ground.

I may get more involved in interested in firearms as time goes on at the place I work at there's a trap shooting club and I'm thinking of joining that. I find the second amendment very fascinating and that was one of the reasons that I got this permit as I found it was an extension of that amendment and just something that I am legally allowed to acquire.
