Where is it illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico, even with a concealed handgun license?

  1. Schools, federal buildings, courthouses, and bars

  2. Public parks and recreational areas

  3. Private businesses that allow firearms

  4. Unsecured areas

The correct answer is: Schools, federal buildings, courthouses, and bars

In New Mexico, it is illegal to carry a firearm in schools, federal buildings, courthouses, and bars, even with a concealed handgun license. This is because these locations are considered sensitive areas and are often restricted for safety reasons. Carrying a firearm in public parks and recreational areas may also be restricted, but it depends on the specific rules and regulations of the location. Private businesses that allow firearms may vary, as some may choose to prohibit them while others allow concealed carry. Unsecured areas generally refer to places where firearms are not safely stored or handled, and carrying a firearm in these areas is generally illegal regardless of a concealed handgun license.
