The National Rifle Association is pressing state lawmakers not to exclude Iowans who’re full-time soldiers from the state’s new “right to carry” law, but state officials say federal law may prevent that. The 2010 Iowa legislature passed a law which sets up a uniform system for issuing permits to Iowans who want to carry a concealed weapon.

But the N.R.A. argues Iowans who’re in the Army, Navy or other branch of the military and stationed at a base in another state are not allowed to apply for a permit. Chris Rager of the N.R.A. says they’re being penalized for their military service.
