Can a person legally carry a concealed handgun in New Mexico without a permit?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, a permit is required

  3. Only in rural areas

  4. Only if the person is over 30 years old

The correct answer is: No, a permit is required

While New Mexico does allow for the open carry of a handgun without a permit, a concealed handgun requires a permit to carry. This is stated explicitly in the state's concealed carry laws. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they state that carrying a concealed handgun without a permit is allowed in some cases. Option B is the only correct answer as it clearly states that a permit is required.
