Can non-residents purchase firearms in Iowa?

  1. Yes, both handguns and long guns

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only long guns

  4. Yes, but they must have a permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but only long guns

In Iowa, non-residents are generally only allowed to purchase long guns, which are rifles and shotguns. This is because Iowa does not have any laws specifically prohibiting non-residents from buying long guns, but does have certain restrictions on non-residents purchasing handguns. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because non-residents are allowed to purchase long guns in Iowa.
