Is a permit required to purchase a rifle or shotgun in New Mexico?

Yes
No
Yes, but only for shotguns
Yes, but only for rifles

The correct answer is: No

In New Mexico, a permit is not required to purchase a rifle or shotgun. This means individuals can buy these types of firearms without undergoing a specific permitting process. The state has laws governing the sale and transfer of firearms, but the lack of a permitting requirement for rifles and shotguns allows for a more straightforward purchasing process compared to certain other states that impose stricter regulations. This lack of requirement applies equally whether the firearm in question is a rifle or a shotgun, making the correct answer particularly clear-cut.
