Is it legal to open carry a firearm in rural areas of New Mexico?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only with a permit

  3. No, it is illegal

  4. Only during hunting season

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

However, it is important to note that this does not apply to urban areas. Option B is incorrect because a permit is not required in this scenario. Option C is incorrect because as mentioned, it is legal to open carry in rural areas. Option D is incorrect because there are no limitations to only being allowed to open carry during hunting season.
