Court ruling narrows gun permit questions in Iowa case
Iowa Supreme Court overturned a Johnson County man s conviction for lying on a gun permit application, ruling the form should not have asked the felony question. The decision comes as Gov Branstad signed broad gun rights expansion, extending permit validity to five years and raising concern over penalties for deceitful applicants. Local officials say background checks occur anyway, but the ruling could embolden felons to try for permits.
