New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Exam 2025 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Can a person be prohibited from owning a firearm in New Mexico due to mental illness?

Yes, in all cases of mental illness

No, never due to mental illness

Yes, if adjudicated mentally incompetent

Those who have been adjudicated mentally incompetent have been deemed by a court to be unable to take care of themselves or manage their own affairs. In New Mexico, this means an individual has been determined by a court to be a danger to themselves or others due to a mental disorder and has been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. In this case, the individual is prohibited from owning a firearm under federal and state laws. This is different from voluntary commitment, which means an individual has chosen to receive treatment at a mental health facility and is not automatically prohibited from owning a firearm.
