I am looking for where I can see the laws/regulations/rules in my state. I would want to be able to see it online as i work third shift and can't call my local sheriff etc. to ask, plus I don't have any exact thing I want to find is illegal just in general and can also look up if I have another question in the future.

Try http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/StateLaws.pdf and go down to the Iowa line. Look up the statues individually. Or, http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USOffLimitsA-M.pdf and go to page 16 or http://www.dps.state.ia.us/asd/weapon_permits.shtml

Iowa gun laws suck. I'm in South Dakota, a half hour from Sioux City, so I go there all the time. It's a pain. Here's a summary:
No loaded guns in your car, and they have to be in a case unless they're in the trunk. Handguns have to be unloaded and in a case that's "too large to conceal on the person".
No permit to buy a long gun, but you need a permit to buy a handgun, which is available from your sheriff. Takes 3 days and costs a small amount. Valid for one year.
No open carry within city limits, and no concealed carry unless youcan prove that you "need" it, or if know someone important. Permits may have limitations on them on where and when you can carry. On the other hand, they don't cost much, so if you could get one...
It's illegal to possess machine guns, sbr's, etc. Probably won't affect you, but it's still no fun.
All in all, for a midwestern state, their gun laws are pretty strict. Definitely not what I'm used to after growing up in South Dakota.
