Iowa’s House of Representatives approved a measure on March 17 that would allow Iowans to purchase and carry firearms without a permit, sending the measure to the Senate for consideration.

House File 756 passed 60–37, with all Republicans voting for it, along with Democratic state Rep. Wes Breckenridge. Republicans have a majority in the Senate and previously passed a similar piece of legislation through a committee.
