Can a non-resident apply for a concealed handgun license in New Mexico?

Yes, if they are employed in New Mexico
No, non-residents cannot apply
Yes, but only for military personnel
Yes, if they own property in New Mexico

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are employed in New Mexico

New Mexico state law allows non-residents to apply for a concealed handgun license if they are employed in the state. This means that non-residents who are not employed in New Mexico, are not eligible to apply for a concealed handgun license. Option B is incorrect because it states that non-residents cannot apply at all, which is false. Option C is incorrect because it limits the eligibility to only military personnel, ignoring other non-residents who may have valid reasons for wanting a concealed handgun license. Option D is incorrect because owning property in New Mexico does not automatically make a non-resident eligible for a concealed handgun license, unless they also meet the employment requirement.
