Can a non-resident apply for an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons?

Yes, if they work in Iowa
No, under any circumstances
Yes, if they own property in Iowa
Yes, if they have a valid reason

The correct answer is: Yes, if they work in Iowa

A non-resident can indeed apply for an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons if they work in Iowa. The law recognizes the necessity for non-residents, particularly those who have employment within the state, to possess a permit. This provision ensures that individuals who have a legitimate reason to carry a weapon for work or business purposes can obtain the necessary legal authorization. Employment within Iowa creates a valid link to the state, allowing non-residents to engage in lawful carrying of weapons while they are fulfilling their job responsibilities. The other options, while they may reflect certain circumstances under different laws or interpretations, do not align with Iowa's provisions for non-resident permits. For instance, property ownership is generally associated with residency requirements, and having a valid reason is not a standalone criterion for non-residents, as merely working in Iowa fulfills the requirement effectively.
