Are private gun sales allowed in New Mexico without conducting a background check?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

  3. No, all sales require a background check

  4. Only if the seller and buyer are family members

The correct answer is: No, all sales require a background check

In New Mexico, private gun sales require a background check, regardless of the type or relationship between the seller and buyer. Option A is incorrect because there are restrictions in place. Option B is incorrect because the type of gun does not exempt the need for a background check. Option D is incorrect because familial relationships do not bypass the requirement for a background check in private gun sales.
