Gun Signs Force of Law

Gun signs do not have the force of law within the State of Iowa. If a property owner posts their property for no guns then it is the responsibility of the carrier to respect the property owner’s rights.

Gun signs posted on property that is specifically mentioned in Iowa State laws do have the force of law. If in doubt and you are asked to leave it is best to leave rather than risk being charged or to face issues due to trespassing.

Note that some counties and cities have passed laws prohibiting carrying in those areas. See the above carry restrictions.
