What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for individuals carrying a firearm in New Mexico?

  1. 0.00%

  2. 0.08%

  3. 0.02%

  4. There is no specified BAC limit

The correct answer is: 0.00%

The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for individuals carrying a firearm in New Mexico is 0.00%. This means that it is illegal for any person to carry a firearm while under the influence of any amount of alcohol. This law is in place to ensure the safety of individuals and prevent any potential accidents or fatalities that could occur when carrying a firearm while under the influence. Option B, 0.08%, is the commonly known BAC limit for operating a vehicle in most states, but this limit does not apply to carrying a firearm. Option C, 0.02%, is also a commonly known BAC limit for underage persons in most states, but again, this limit does not apply to carrying a firearm. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific BAC limit in New Mexico for individuals carrying a firearm. It is important to note that even if there is no specified BAC limit, it is still illegal to carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol in most, if not all, states. It is always best to avoid any alcohol consumption when carrying a firearm for the safety of oneself and others.
