Who is responsible for ensuring a firearm is not accessible to unauthorized persons in New Mexico?

The firearm's owner
The state police
The local government
A licensed firearms dealer

The correct answer is: The firearm's owner

In New Mexico, the firearm's owner is responsible for ensuring that their firearm is not accessible to unauthorized persons. This is because the ownership and possession of firearms is highly regulated and falls under the responsibility of the individual gun owner. Options B and C, the state police and local government, may have regulations and laws in place to help enforce responsible gun ownership, but ultimately it is up to the individual gun owner to ensure safe storage and handling of their firearm. Option D, a licensed firearms dealer, is responsible for following regulations regarding the sale and transfer of firearms, but it is still the responsibility of the individual gun owner to secure their firearm from unauthorized access.
