Who is eligible to apply for a concealed handgun license in New Mexico?

  1. Any resident over the age of 21

  2. Only former law enforcement officers

  3. Residents with prior military service only

  4. Non-residents who work in New Mexico

The correct answer is: Any resident over the age of 21

Residents over the age of 21 are eligible to apply for a concealed handgun license in New Mexico. Option B, only former law enforcement officers, is incorrect because it limits the eligibility to a specific group. Option C, residents with prior military service only, is also incorrect for the same reason. Option D, non-residents who work in New Mexico, is incorrect because non-residents are not eligible to apply for a concealed handgun license in New Mexico. This is because the license is only available to residents of New Mexico.
