Local And Compliance Notes

Loftus Firearms is the trusted firearms retailer in Evansdale, Iowa, and serves customers in the nearby cities of Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Hudson, Dunkerton, and Jesup. Iowa enacted constitutional carry in 2021 under Senate File 535, meaning law-abiding Iowans who are legally permitted to possess a firearm may carry it, openly or concealed, without a state permit. Residents who travel across state lines or want reciprocity recognition in other states can still obtain an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons through their county sheriff’s office.

Shotgun shell selection in Iowa is closely tied to the state’s rich hunting tradition. Iowa is one of the country’s premier pheasant hunting destinations, and the Iowa DNR manages seasons, bag limits, and public hunting land access statewide. Waterfowl hunters along the Mississippi Flyway corridor and interior wetlands rely on non-toxic shot, including steel, bismuth, or tungsten loads, as required by federal law for migratory bird hunting. Always verify current Iowa DNR regulations before heading afield, as season dates, zones, and shot requirements can change year to year.

For deer hunters, Iowa’s firearm deer season allows shotguns with slugs as legal hunting ammunition, making rifled slugs and sabot loads popular choices among hunters heading into the timber. Transport your ammunition in accordance with Iowa law and store it securely at home, away from unauthorized access. Contact Loftus Firearms directly for help selecting the right shells for hunting, home defense, or competitive shooting.
