How long is the standard waiting period after purchasing a firearm before taking possession of it in New Mexico?

  1. No waiting period

  2. 3 days

  3. 5 days

  4. 10 days

The correct answer is: No waiting period

In the state of New Mexico, there is no standard waiting period after purchasing a firearm. This means that once you have passed the required background check and completed the necessary paperwork, you are able to take possession of the firearm immediately. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest waiting periods of 3, 5, and 10 days, respectively, which are not enforced in New Mexico.
