What is the legal blood alcohol content limit for carrying a firearm in New Mexico?

  1. 0.08%

  2. 0.00%

  3. 0.02%

  4. 0.04%

The correct answer is: 0.00%

While the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) for operating a motor vehicle in New Mexico is 0.08%, the legal limit for carrying a firearm is actually 0.00%. This means that even a small amount of alcohol in your system while carrying a firearm can result in legal consequences. It is important to exercise caution and responsibility when carrying a firearm and to refrain from consuming alcohol in order to comply with the strict 0.00% limit in New Mexico. Options A, C, and D all include a BAC limit, but they are all above the legal limit for carrying a firearm in New Mexico. As such, they are incorrect options. Option B, 0.00%, is the correct answer as it represents the strict BAC limit for carrying a firearm in New Mexico.
