Is this just a state of Iowa law or is it that way everywhere??
The rules and definitions vary state to state....

He also said more truck drivers get killed by their own gun than by a assailants gun.
That could well be true..... It is statistically true for the population as a whole.
"Joe Schmuck got pissed at Freddy Doofus, pulled a saturday night special out of his pocket and threatened Freddy. Freddy kicked Joe in the nuts, took the gun and shot Joe in the face three times." Under the circumstances the District Attorney said it was "self defense".
"Joe Schmuck bought a 357 Magnum for "protection", and kept it in his nightstand.... Freddy the gangbanger and some of his homies decide to rip Joe off. Well they breaks in and starts to doing the midnite shopping gig, but Joe wakes up, grabs his piece (the gun) and runs into the living room, yelling some silly crap.... Freddy and company just look at him.... Freddy walks over smacks Joe upside the head, takes the cannon.....blows Joes head off....cleans out the pad, and takes the gun too...."
