In Iowa, you may openly carry any Firearm, including Pistols, provided; you are in a rural area of the State that is not part of any City, per 724.4.
However, once you conceal a Firearm or Weapon or place one in your Vehicle you must have a Permit. Also, in order to carry a Pistol in a City, you need a Permit.
The best website that goes further into this is www.iowacarry.com.
Do not carry any Firearm or Weapon to or while at, in, on, or within a 1000 feet from any School or any Park... these offenses are enhanced Felonies per 724.4A.
However, the good news is that essentially everywhere else in Iowa is legal.
