What is required to obtain a concealed handgun license in New Mexico?

  1. Passing a background check

  2. Completion of a firearms training course

  3. Both A and B

  4. New Mexico residency for at least 1 year

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In order to obtain a concealed handgun license in New Mexico, both passing a background check and completing a firearms training course are required. Option D, New Mexico residency for at least 1 year, is incorrect because there is no residency requirement for obtaining a concealed handgun license in New Mexico. Option A, passing a background check, is also incorrect because completing the firearms training course is also necessary for obtaining the license. Option B, completion of a firearms training course, is a partial answer and is incorrect because both options A and B are required. Therefore, the correct answer is C, both passing a background check and completing a firearms training course.
