DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A new law will allow drivers or passengers in snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to carry loaded firearms.
Gov. Terry Branstad signed the legislation into law Wednesday. The law will allow people to carry a loaded firearm whether it’s concealed or not, though there are separate rules for gun owners who are on their private land and those who are not on such property.
A gun owner on his or her own land will not be required to keep their gun permit on them at all times. They will also not be required to keep a firearm on a retention holster.
Gun owners will still not be allowed to shoot a weapon from the moving vehicles.
