| Going to be driving through NM on my way to Colorado. Probably going to be stopping in for gas somewhere along the way. I have my nv ccw and transporting my guns with me. What do I need to do of anything while driving through. Thanks! |
Unfortunately NM doesn't recognize Nevada's CC permit. However if you don't try to rob  any gas stations along the way you should be fine. A vehicle is considered an extension of your residence and having or carrying on your person is ok in a vehicle. If you exit your vehicle, don't CC, open carry is allowed with some restrictions. It would be best to check the laws @ http://www.dps.nm.org/index.php/nm-concealed-carry/reciprocity-agreements/ If I made any mistakes I'm sure some of the old pro's will correct me.
Have a safe trip! Edited to add: Yipy gives excellent advice! Reservations are off limits for firearms for us white devils! For that matter black, brown, yellow or green unless you are a tribal member with an OK. So don't stop at any reservations for gas, gambling or sight seeing! 
Another edit: CQ sent me the latest change that it is now OK to CC carry in NM State Parks, a big win for all of us! |

let me just touch on something...
Open carry is legal for just about anyone age 19 and above.. (Barring you're legally able to carry a weapon.. but I digress). You CANNOT open carry into any place that sells alcohol for on site or off site consumption.. That includes most walmarts, any gas station and/or grocery store that sells beer or alcohol.. (Most do). Doing so would be a felony. Topping your gas off and paying at the pump are as far as I am aware, legal to do. You just cannot open carry your weapon inside the store. Have a safe trip! -Damien |
