Can law enforcement officers carry firearms in places where the general public is prohibited from carrying in New Mexico?

Yes, but only if they are on duty
Yes, in most cases
No, they are subject to the same laws
Yes, but they must be concealed

The correct answer is: Yes, in most cases

Law enforcement officers in New Mexico are typically allowed to carry firearms in places where the general public is prohibited from carrying. This is because they are authorized to use their firearms while on duty to protect and uphold the law. Therefore, they are not subject to the same restrictions as the general public. Option A is incorrect because it states that officers can only carry while on duty, but they are usually allowed to carry off-duty as well. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned before, officers have different laws and regulations that allow them to carry firearms in restricted areas. Option D is incorrect because there are no state laws in New Mexico that require officers to conceal their weapons.
