Texas has a website that lists businesses that ban guns with the correct and incorrect signage.  Is there one for NM somewhere?

I am spending a week in the Santa Fe area next month and would like to know when to leave my gun at the house.

It only pertains to restaurants and   a jewelry store type location for me, otherwise I wont be in Santa Fe proper.

ETA: Also I dont see any exemptions for active or retired police officers, is that accurate?

I know it's cliche, but concealed means concealed?  I've noticed more signs telling people concealed carry is legal, open isn't.

As far as I'm aware, no carry signs only mean they can ask you to leave, and you aren't committing a crime unless they ask you to leave and you don't, at which point it's trespassing

The NRAILA site seemed to indicate a sign was " notice " of the violation.

If I have time at work, I'll pull up the actual law.  I usually go by Legal Heat.

I appreciate it.  I'm not spending a lot of time in Santa Fe, but, I would like to avoid any unnecessary carry prohibitions in a state/county that is very anti gun.

NM law use to be specific about the type of signage that had to be used by businesses if they had a no gun policy.  

I believe now any type of signage is allowed by a business to denote weapons are not allowed on the premises.

I didnt see many signs, however there was no way to know if any specific place is prohibited or not before you already walk in and commit a crime if they serve margaritas.  

Concealed is concealed until you have to use it and then get booked for a felony for violating their assinine carry laws. And they will do it, even if self defense is legit.  But in their view though, its not legit if they ban your gun, so I dont go into places, concealed or not, if it's illegal in antigun states.  Since I dont go into bars, it not relevant, however if I go to get a lunch taco at a place that HAS a bar 10 feet away nearby, seems to me thats banned in NM.
