In New Mexico, is it legal to carry a concealed firearm on college or university campuses?

Yes, with a concealed carry permit
No, it is prohibited with narrow exceptions for law enforcement
Yes, but only for employees of the institution
Yes, if the firearm is stored in a locked vehicle

The correct answer is: No, it is prohibited with narrow exceptions for law enforcement

While New Mexico allows individuals with a concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm in most public places, the state has specific laws regarding concealed carry on college or university campuses. As stated in options C and D, employees of the institution and individuals who have locked their firearm in a vehicle may carry a concealed firearm on campus. However, non-employees with a concealed carry permit are prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm on campus unless they are a law enforcement officer. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
