Is it legal to carry a concealed firearm in a vehicle without a permit in Iowa?

Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and secured
No
Yes, but only in the glove compartment
Yes, if the firearm is visible to the naked eye

The correct answer is: No

In Iowa, it is not legal to carry a concealed firearm in a vehicle without a proper permit. The state's laws require that individuals possess a valid permit for the carrying of a concealed firearm in any location, including inside a vehicle. This regulation ensures that individuals who carry firearms are adequately trained and vetted. The option stating that it is legal to carry if the firearm is unloaded and secured suggests a misunderstanding of the state's requirements for concealed carry, which specifically mandates a permit for carrying a concealed weapon in any context. The other options similarly misrepresent the legal parameters for firearm carry in vehicles, reinforcing that a permit is a requirement regardless of the conditions described.
