A bill for an act relating to the minimum age for acquiring or carrying weapons.

This bill lowers Iowa's minimum age for acquiring or carrying weapons from 21 to 18 years old for most purposes. It allows 18- to 20-year-olds to obtain nonprofessional firearm permits and possess pistols/revolvers (with exceptions for those in law enforcement roles), while permitting parents/guardians aged 18+ to supervise minors under 21 in lawful firearm use. The bill removes previous restrictions on 18- to 20-year-olds holding permits and updates liability rules for parents allowing minors under 14 to possess firearms. It directly affects young adults aged 18-20 and parents/guardians of minors.
