That's an aggravated misdemeanor in the State of Iowa. That carries a prison term of up to two years and a fine above just $6250. There is no mandatory minimum jail time on that offense. However, there is a minimum fine of $625. The real kicker for people in this situation though is it they likely are going to lose their permit to carry. With a gun charge tied to an OWI charge, if the jury concludes or a court finds that the individual was not intoxicated, it's a legal impossibility for that person to be convicted of the weapons offense as well because the fact that you were found not to be intoxicated would mean that your permit is valid. That's why it's important to get an attorney who's knowledgeable in the area to help you protect your rights in that situation.
