U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Iowa has become the 18th state to restore Constitutional Carry. Vermont has always had Constitutional Carry, so Iowa becomes the 19th member of the Constitutional Carry club. Three members, Utah, Montana, and Iowa, have been added in 2021, so far. Tennessee is expected to join shortly.
On Friday, 2 April, 202. Governor Kim Reynolds (R) of Iowa, signed bill HF 756 into law. The bill was delivered to Governor Reynolds earlier in the day. Realistically, she could not have signed it any earlier. Governor Reynolds released this gracious statement with the signing of the bill:
“Today I signed legislation that protects the 2nd Amendment rights of Iowa’s law-abiding citizens while still preventing the sale of firearms to criminals and other dangerous individuals. This law also takes greater steps to inform law enforcement about an individual’s mental illness helping ensure firearms don’t end up in the wrong hands. We will never be able to outlaw or prevent every single bad actor from getting a gun, but what we can do is ensure law-abiding citizens have full access to their constitutional rights while keeping Iowans safe.” – Gov. Kim Reynolds
The slogan on the great seal of Iowa seems particularly appropriate: WE PRIZE OUR LIBERTIES AND OUR RIGHTS WE WILL MAINTAIN. A citizen-soldier holding a musket is prominently featured on the seal, created in 1847. The bill will become effective on 1 July, 2021.
In Iowa, the Constitutional Carry bill passed the Senate on 22 March. People may have wondered why it took a week to be signed into law. The history of the bill followed this sequence:

Yes we are moving forward.
First good news I’ve heard in weeks.
That was step one. Next step is for legislature to pass a bill that prevents Iowa law enforcement, and other bureaucrats working for the state or counties to not enforce any Federal gun control laws passed by the communist congress of the US and that infringe on the RKBA.
That 20 would/will make a pretty nice nucleus for a new Republic. I see no reconciliation with the left, so I say, we secede and let them have their Socialist Balkanized Utopia

I guess the threat to pull a Final Four out of Iowa didn’t stop her, as it did for a neighboring state (and thereby destroying that babe’s national career) - see, not so hard.
Tennessee just passed it and Indiana is about to pass Constitutional Carry which will make 21 states.
