Which of these locations is it generally illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico?

State parks
Personal vehicle
Bars or restaurants serving alcohol
Your own home

The correct answer is: Bars or restaurants serving alcohol

It is generally illegal to carry a firearm in bars or restaurants serving alcohol in New Mexico due to safety concerns and the high likelihood of alcohol-related disturbances. This is a common law, across many states, to reduce the risk of violence occurring in these establishments. Option A and D do not pertain to the context of the question, as carrying a firearm in state parks or your own home would not typically be subject to the same legal restrictions. Option B, personal vehicle, may be a common location for carrying a firearm, but the question specifically asks about locations where it is generally illegal to do so. Therefore, this option is not relevant to this question and the correct answer is C, bars or restaurants serving alcohol.
