Is open carry of a firearm legal in New Mexico?

Yes, without any permit
No, it's illegal
Yes, but requires a permit
Yes, but only for residents

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of a firearm is legal in New Mexico without any permit. This means that anyone, including non-residents, can openly carry a firearm without needing to obtain a permit. Option B is incorrect because it states that open carry is completely illegal in New Mexico. Option C is incorrect because it implies that a permit is required for open carry, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect because it limits open carry to only residents of New Mexico, when in fact anyone can legally open carry a firearm in the state.
