Is open carry of a firearm legal in New Mexico?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, with a permit
No, it is illegal
Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of a firearm in New Mexico is legal without any permit. This means that someone is allowed to openly carry a firearm in public without having to obtain any type of permit beforehand. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they either require a permit, state that it is illegal, or have limitations (only in rural areas). Additionally, these options may be confusing as they all mention different criteria that may not necessarily be correct for New Mexico's laws. Therefore, A is the most accurate answer.
