Don't know about you, but that would make me proud.
On the 2nd question: WTF are you reading? The Onion or Huffington Post? Only thing about carrying concealed, is you can only carry 'one' concealed. If you feel the need to have more than one gat on you, carry the 2nd in the open (we have open carry here) or carry the 2nd one empty. An empty firearm is NOT considered a weapon here. |

The definition of an unloaded pistol is that it is not a weapon. Would I want to be the first to have to litigate it? No. Hell, no. Hell freakin', no. Are the laws here written like a drunk monkey wrote them? Yes. Conceal it correctly and you will never stand in front of the judge. Unless you have to use it. |

The law concerning carrying into a school are such that the gun must be rendered inoperable, e.g. firing pin removed and left at home. You may only do so for 'exhibition' purposes iirc. |

No waiting, and also no exception if you have a CCL like some states |

Although, a bill of sale is a wise option if you don't know the person. |

Your laws remind me of the VA I used to know. And if things don’t go well and IF, A BIG IF, I can separate my wife from her parents, then I’d love to hang my hat, no not Tenn. New Mayhico
Not picking on Tenn. they do have 3/4 republican legislator, and all federal elected office republican too. How the HVAC jobs doing out there? |

On the list of States' whose permits New Mexico honors, Florida is on that list. Does New Mexico distinguish between resident and non-resident permits? And does residency affect reciprocity? The reason I ask is because sometimes residency does affect whether or not a permit is honored and there is the additional wrinkle in the case of Florida's permit is that unlike most states' permits, Florida's CFL does NOT list any address information about the license holder on the permit. So, for me, I'm simply trying to clarify. If I travel to New Mexico, and plan to carry a concealed handgun under my Florida permit (I'm a resident of Pennsylvania), am I good to go? (and I don't mean to jail!  ) |

I'm looking to visit NM next summer. Sightseeing, photography etc. I will be criss crossing the northern part of the state. Texas CCW. Mostly staying at National park campgrounds when I can. The "No CCW on Tribal lands" has me concerned as I had planned on driving between The Santa Fe area and Ship Rock, it looks like a minefield. I dont mind tossing it a lockbox if I get out of the vehicle, is that good enough? How will I tell if I'm in a tribal area? Online maps are kind of messy labeling Tribal areas. I'm sure I will be crossing in and out regularly over the course of the week. I also understand no CCW in any store that sells liquor..even Walmart?! The National park pages say they defer to state laws regarding CCW on park grounds. So if its illegal at a state park, its also illegal at a federal park? I'm beginning to wonder where CAN you carry? |

One thing to be aware of, is that while the Lovable Governator tries to impose unconstitutional controls on gun owners, especially CCW owners, the sheriffs have almost unanimously declared their opposition to these controls: The governor originally issued a 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws on Sept. 8 in Bernalillo County, where Albuquerque, the state's most populous city, is seated. It was quickly met with pushback, prompting multiple lawsuits and a call for impeachment of the Democratic leader. attrib link |

The National park pages say they defer to state laws regarding CCW on park grounds. So if its illegal at a state park, its also illegal at a federal park? I'm beginning to wonder where CAN you carry? I drive through tribal land pretty regularly, and occasionally buy/sell animals or hay. My personal policy is to leave my gun in my console if I'm packing. The tribal cops seem mostly interested in generating revenue, so don't speed much if art all. As for the booze stuff, that bears double checking, but the liquor store I go to just says no open carry, I think the restriction is the normal "don't carry in a bar that makes most of it's money from on site booze drinking." And for national parks, I've carried in plenty of them, I thought the only restriction was inside buildings. Related, my neighbor just took the CCW class, and was surprised at the restrictions and laws. I think most people think it's the metaphorical wild west. Doesn't help when we have professional liers as politicians like the Governor, or the sheriff of Bernallio, or the Albuquerque police chief. If you stay out of Santa Fe and ABQ, you'll be fine. |
