What is the penalty for carrying a firearm onto school property in New Mexico?

Mandatory community service
A fine and potential jail time
Confiscation of the firearm
There is no penalty

The correct answer is: A fine and potential jail time

While there may be variations in the penalty depending on the specific circumstances, carrying a firearm onto school property in New Mexico is generally considered a serious offense with potential penalties of a fine and jail time. Option A is incorrect because it does not factor in the seriousness of the offense and the potential harm that could occur. Option C is incorrect because firearm confiscation is not typically the only penalty imposed for this offense. Option D is incorrect because carrying a firearm onto school property is a violation of state and federal laws and therefore there will be some form of penalty.
