Indefinite

The correct answer is: 5 years

The standard duration of a nonprofessional permit to carry weapons in Iowa is five years. This length of validity allows permit holders a reasonable amount of time to utilize their permit without needing to renew it frequently. After five years, the individual must go through the renewal process, which may involve proving continued competency and compliance with state laws regarding firearm safety and carrying. Understanding this duration is important for responsible firearm ownership and ensures that permit holders stay informed about their legal status and responsibilities.
