What must individuals do to legally conceal carry a handgun in New Mexico?

  1. Register their firearm

  2. Obtain a concealed carry permit

  3. Complete a background check

  4. No action required

The correct answer is: Obtain a concealed carry permit

Obtaining a concealed carry permit is the necessary step to legally conceal carry a handgun in New Mexico. Option A, registering the firearm, is not a requirement for concealed carry but may vary by state. Option C, completing a background check, is a standard process when purchasing a firearm but does not apply to concealed carry permits. Option D, no action required, is not accurate as there are specific legal requirements for concealed carry in every state.
