Under New Mexico law, which of the following statements about storing firearms in a home where children are present is accurate?

Firearms must be stored unloaded in a locked container
Firearms can be stored anywhere as long as they are unloaded
There are no specific laws regarding storing firearms in homes with children
Firearms should be stored with a trigger lock in place

The correct answer is: Firearms must be stored unloaded in a locked container

Under New Mexico law, firearms must be stored unloaded in a locked container in a home where children are present. This is to prevent accidents and keep children from accessing firearms without adult supervision. Option B is incorrect because simply keeping the firearms unloaded is not enough to ensure safety in a home with children. Option C is incorrect because there are specific laws in New Mexico regarding storing firearms in homes with children. Option D is incorrect because while using a trigger lock can be an additional safety measure, it is not enough to satisfy the law which requires firearms to be stored in a locked container.
