Are background checks required for private gun sales in New Mexico?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In New Mexico, background checks are required for private gun sales. This means that regardless of the type of firearm being sold or the location where the sale takes place, a background check is mandatory. This eliminates options B, C, and D as incorrect choices because they suggest that private gun sales in New Mexico do not require background checks. However, it's important to note that background checks are not required for gifts or loans of firearms between family members.
