Is it legal to carry a firearm in state parks in New Mexico with a valid concealed carry permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only during hunting season

  4. Only with special permission

The correct answer is: Yes

It is legal to carry a firearm in state parks in New Mexico with a valid concealed carry permit. This is because New Mexico has state preemption laws that prohibit local governments from enacting their own gun control laws, so state parks fall under this jurisdiction. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they either state that carrying a firearm is not legal at all in state parks (B), or that there are limitations or exceptions to the legality (C and D). However, this is not the case as long as the individual has a valid concealed carry permit.
