Can non-residents apply for a concealed carry permit in New Mexico?

  1. Yes, if they are employed in New Mexico

  2. Yes, without restrictions

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only if they own property in New Mexico

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are employed in New Mexico

In New Mexico, non-residents may apply for a concealed carry permit if they are employed in the state. This means they must have a job or work-related responsibilities that require them to travel to and from the state regularly. Option B is incorrect because there are restrictions for non-residents, namely the employment requirement. Option C is also incorrect as non-residents are not completely barred from applying for the permit. Option D is incorrect because owning property in New Mexico does not automatically qualify a non-resident for a concealed carry permit.
