Thank you for your emails,
phone calls and letters regarding a Dove Season in
You should be advised that
the “Anti-Dove” people are organizing strongly against the proposed Senate File

discretion, only way it can be denied is for specific reasons which includes: a
felony charge, drug / alcohol addictions, domestic violence convictions, being
subject to a restraining order, a past commitment to a mental institution,
unlawful immigration status and dishonorable discharge from the military. These
are the only reasons why a Sheriff would be unable to issue a permit. Of course
if they deny a permit, it could be appealed to the Administrative Court Judge.

it’s members for allowing and pushing the Legislature to make this amendment.
It being remembered that the Iowa Carry Permit allows for open or concealed
carrying of hand guns, rifles, and/or shot guns. This new permit to carry will
affect the DNR as far as law enforcement goes, which hasn’t been clarified to
this point yet.
