In New Mexico, who is responsible for maintaining the safety of a firearm in a home with children?

  1. The firearm's owner

  2. The children's parents, regardless of ownership

  3. Any adult present in the home

  4. The state

The correct answer is: The firearm's owner

In New Mexico, the law states that the firearm's owner is responsible for maintaining safety of the firearm in a home with children. This means that the responsibility lies with the person who owns the firearm, not necessarily someone who is just present in the home. Option B is incorrect because it does not necessarily matter who owns the firearm, the responsibility lies with the owner. Option C is incorrect because while any adult present in the home should also ensure the firearm is safely stored, ultimately it is the owner's responsibility. Option D is incorrect because while the state may have laws and regulations regarding firearm safety, the responsibility still lies with the owner.
