Here is a list of all of the firearms related legislation currently being considered under the gold dome in Des Moines:
HF7 – Windschitl – Stand Your Ground / Castle Doctrine Enhancement - This bill would allow citizens to use all reasonable force, including deadly force, to prevent serious injury or death to himself or a third part. It removes the duty to retreat, and provides immunity from prosecution for justified acts of force. It does NOT give permission to shoot indiscriminately and without just cause, as has been reported by some media outlets and legislators.
HF104 – Windschitl - “Firearms Freedom Act” for Suppressors - This bill provides that any suppressor that is manufactured, sold, and remains in Iowa shall not be subjected to Federal regulation.
HF121 – Windschitl - “Firearms Freedom Act” - This bill provides that any firearm that is manufactured, sold, and remains in Iowa shall not be subjected to Federal regulation.
HF122 – Hagenow – Offensive Weapons for Private Investigators and Private Security Officers - This bill would allow licensed private investigators and licensed private security officers to carry offensive weapons.
HSB16 – Baudler – Repeal of Permit to Acquire – This bill repeals the Iowa Permit to Acquire Weapons
HSB17 – Baudler – RKBA Amendment to the Iowa Constitution – This bill adds the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to the Iowa Constitution.
HSB18 – Baudler – Emergency Powers Protection of Firearms – This bill prevents any government agency from removing firearms and ammunition from citizens during a state of emergency.
HSB19 – Baudler – Preemption Strengthening – This bill makes it crystal clear that local jurisdictions have no authority to override state law when dealing with firearms issues.
HSB20 – Baudler - “Constitutional Carry” - This bill removes the requirement to carry an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons when carrying a weapon.
HSB36 – Baudler - Stand Your Ground / Castle Doctrine Enhancement – Like HF7, this bill seeks to strengthen the "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" principals, and removes liability from citizens who are justified in using deadly force.
HSB37 – Baudler – Offensive Weapons Possession - This bill would allow private citizens to own offensive weapons, subject to any Federal disqualifiers.
SF83 – Dearden – Dove Hunting - This bill would establish a Mourning Dove Hunting season.
SSB1056 – Fraise – Modification to Carrying Around Alcohol; Requires Qualification; Invalidates Online Training – This bill would make it illegal to carry a weapon in any establishment that sells alcohol, or where alcohol is consumed, under the authority of a liquor control license or permit; requires qualification time on a range prior to obtaining an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons; invalidates all on-line training as a means to satisfy the training requirements of obtaining an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons; forces all renewal applicants to have had training and qualification at least 12 months prior to renewal; and assigns all costs associated to an appeal that is denied to the citizen who filed the appeal.
All of these bills are available for review on the Iowa Legislature Website.

Doesn't SSB1056 worry a few people? I have to disarm before I enter an Old Chicago, Applebees, or any bar that serves good food? I feel like I'm being punished for not drinking heavily at these establishments...
Yep - SSB1056 is a huge step backwards, and cannot be allowed to see the light of day.
SSB1056 does sound like a loser. This one needs to be defeated. Most states have a 50% rule. If the establishment derives over 50% of their revenue from alcohol sales, no guns. That would save places like Applebees and such.
States with carry in places serving alcohol have essentially zero problems.
No one wants to lose the right to carry over drinking and the people who would do such a thing don't obey laws anyway.
