How long is a New Mexico concealed handgun license valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 4 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 2 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A concealed handgun license in New Mexico is valid for 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This means an individual has the legal right to conceal a handgun on their person or in their vehicle for 5 years after receiving their license. Answer choices A, C, and D are incorrect and do not accurately reflect the valid duration of a concealed handgun license in New Mexico. Answer choice A states 4 years, which is incorrect because it is shorter than the actual validity of the license. Answer choice C states 2 years, which is also incorrect because it is even shorter than option A. Lastly, answer choice D states 10 years, which is incorrect because it is longer than the actual validity of the license. Thus, answer choice B is the most accurate and correct option.
