Most of you were probably aware DPS was floating the idea late last year of changing the CCW rules.

Among other things, the new rules according to the NRA would do the following:

All New Mexico residents who carry in-state under the authority of a reciprocal state license, or anyone moving to the state who may currently legally carry under the authority of a reciprocal state license, could be forced to apply for a New Mexico license.

All DPS-approved instructors would be required to complete “in-service training” every other year, administered by the agency.

I have been hoping nothing would come of it, and never did find any public announcement that they were changed, but it appears its a done deal. Buried in the latest rules posted on DPS' website they have rescinded all carry permits from other states to NM residents.  Latest Rules



This is outrageous.  No new law was passed, Susanna's DPS literally reinterpreted existing law (same crap Obama did for years).

I can't imagine I'm the only one that preferred using an AZ license due to the expense, headache, and bureaucracy associated with a NM one.

I hate RINOs...

Wow, what a bucket of shit. I'm so glad I live in a free state now.

I'm hoping HPA and national reciprocity pass, because I'm not willing to put up with the NM CCW bureaucracy.  Canceling my AZ permit is ridiculous.  In fact, as of now the DPS site still states AZ license are valid, one has to read the new rule changes to actually see they are no longer accepted.  

What a fucking joke. Thanks Susanna.

Yep we've had a thread going on it. Forced me to get a NM license which has some absurd requirements. Purely a revenue scheme.
