In New Mexico, do you need a permit to purchase a rifle or shotgun?

Yes, a permit is required
No, a permit is not required
Yes, but only for residents
Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No, a permit is not required

In New Mexico, you do not need a permit to purchase a rifle or shotgun. This is in accordance with the state’s gun laws, which allow for the purchase of rifles and shotguns without the need for a permit. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required in some form, whether for all individuals, residents only, or non-residents only. However, in New Mexico, a permit is not required for the purchase of rifles or shotguns, regardless of residency status.
