Is it legal to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle without a permit in New Mexico?

Yes
No
Only in open view
Only if unloaded and locked away

The correct answer is: Yes

New Mexico is an open-carry state, meaning it is legal for individuals to openly carry loaded firearms without a permit. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that it is never legal to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle without a permit in New Mexico, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that the firearm must be visible, which is not a requirement for legal open or concealed carry in a vehicle. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that it is only legal if the gun is unloaded and locked away, which is not the case for open carry laws in New Mexico.
