Can a person be charged with a felony for illegally possessing a firearm in New Mexico?

Yes, in all cases
No
Yes, but only if it is used in a crime
Yes, if they have a prior criminal record

The correct answer is: Yes, in all cases

Yes, in all cases, a person can be charged with a felony for illegally possessing a firearm in New Mexico. This is because New Mexico has strict firearm laws and considers illegal possession of a firearm a serious offense, regardless of any other circumstances such as usage or criminal history. B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that there are specific conditions that must be met in order for a person to be charged with a felony for illegal firearm possession in New Mexico, which is not the case. It is important to note that the severity of the charges and potential penalties may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
