Cities don't make gun laws, states do. A municipality can't pass a law that supercedes a state law as far as I know. I'm not a lawyer, but as long as you follow the state laws, you should be fine.

That only applies in states where the legislature has written a law, called a preemption statute, which prevents cities from restricting firearms further than state laws. According to:

Iowa does have full preemption, therefore Des Moines would be prohibited from having their own ordinances.
To doublebarr:
Keep in mind it is against Federal law to possess a firearm that is not unloaded and locked in a case within 1000' of the premises of a school, unless you possess a permit issued by the state in which the school zone is located (in this case, an Iowa permit). (With a couple other exceptions such as private property)
This is what is worrying me:

I dont' know if it's moved beyond this yet and I don't care to be the "test case" if it has.
find that the statute does not interfere with the authority of a city to exercise its home
rule power to place restrictions upon the possession of weapons which apply only to
buildings owned or directly controlled by the city.
Going to DesMoines next month for 3 days for daughters regional BB tourney (have two girls on the team, only have 7 girls total on the team, and the team is 15-3 so far*mom brag moment*) and I have been reading up on Iowa gun laws and have State carry covered, but cannot find anything on any municipal laws for Des Moines. Anyone have a government link to the laws there?

It also depends if you are using Des Moines generically or if you are actually going to Ankeny or another suburb.
Game one is in the can and the girls won by 5 with some really poor reffing for both teams, but they won. So we are now on the winners side of the bracket! Oldest daughter scored the game high with 24 points also, and ended the game with a double-double againHave yet to see any signage so the main issue has been fine as far as I know.
Good news! I hope they go all the way!!
Thank you. We did get beat by only one team and they were seeded higher than us and we finished 3rd (behind the #1 & #2 seeded teams) who played for the Championship. However, that does get us in to the Nationals, so we are off to practice HARD for the next week, then nationals the following week. Aside from realizing DesMoines is one VERY spread out, unconnected city, had no troubles and did not see the first no-gun sign anywhere we went. Nice visit overall, well except for the fact that you all have NO idea how to make REAL sweet teaI was going into withdrawals by the time we left town Saturday afternoon.
