Is open carry of a loaded firearm legal in New Mexico without a permit?

Yes, for anyone over 18
No, it is never legal
Yes, but only in rural areas
Yes, for anyone over 21

The correct answer is: Yes, for anyone over 21

Open carry of a loaded firearm is legal in New Mexico, but only for individuals who are over 21 years old. Option A is incorrect because the minimum age for open carry is 21, not 18. Option B is incorrect because open carry is legal in New Mexico with certain restrictions, such as the minimum age requirement. Option C is incorrect because open carry is legal throughout the state, not just limited to rural areas.
