What is required for a non-resident to legally carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle in New Mexico?

  1. A valid driver's license

  2. A valid concealed carry permit from any state

  3. Proof of firearm training

  4. No requirement; it is legal for anyone

The correct answer is: No requirement; it is legal for anyone

There are a few important pieces of information to consider to understand why this is the correct answer. First, New Mexico is considered a "constitutional carry" state, which means that the state does not require a permit for individuals to carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle. This means that there is no requirement for a non-resident to legally carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle in New Mexico. The other options mentioned in the choices may be required or valid in other states, but they do not apply specifically to the state of New Mexico. Additionally, proof of firearm training may be recommended for safety and responsible gun ownership, but it is not a legal requirement in this particular scenario. As always, it is important to be well-versed in the specific laws and regulations of each state when it comes to carrying firearms.
