What is required to obtain a concealed carry permit in New Mexico?

  1. Completion of a firearms training course

  2. A valid driver’s license

  3. Proof of residency for at least 6 months

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Obtaining a concealed carry permit in New Mexico requires completing a firearms training course, having a valid driver's license, and proving residency for at least 6 months. Option A, completing a firearms training course, is necessary as it ensures proper knowledge and safety when carrying a concealed weapon. Option B, having a valid driver's license, is important for identification purposes. Option C, proving residency for at least 6 months, is necessary as it shows that the applicant is a long-term resident of the state and is therefore more familiar with local laws and regulations. All of these requirements work together to ensure that those who are granted a concealed carry permit are responsible and well-informed individuals. Thus, the correct answer is D, all of the above.
