In New Mexico, how can one legally transfer a firearm to another individual?

Through a private sale without any documentation
Only through a licensed firearm dealer
By posting an online advertisement
Any of the above, depending on the firearm

The correct answer is: Only through a licensed firearm dealer

In New Mexico, it is illegal to transfer a firearm to another individual without going through a licensed firearm dealer. This includes private sales or online postings. This is to ensure that proper background checks and paperwork are completed to regulate the transfer and ownership of firearms. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they all involve transferring a firearm without the legal steps required in New Mexico. Only option B is correct as it abides by the state's laws and regulations.
