What is considered a firearm in New Mexico law?

  1. Any device capable of discharging a projectile

  2. Only handguns, rifles, and shotguns

  3. Any weapon that expels a projectile by explosive

  4. Only devices federally recognized as firearms

The correct answer is: Any weapon that expels a projectile by explosive

In New Mexico law, a firearm is defined as any weapon that expels a projectile by the action of an explosive. This definition is broader than option A, which limits firearms to only devices that discharge a projectile. Option B is incorrect because it excludes other types of firearms such as handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Option D is incorrect because New Mexico law does not solely rely on federal recognition when defining a firearm.
