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

Completion of a firearms safety course
A valid driver's license
Proof of residency for at least 6 months
A recommendation letter from local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Completion of a firearms safety course

A concealed handgun carry license is required in order to legally carry a concealed handgun in New Mexico. Although the other options may seem like necessary requirements, they are not directly relevant to the process of obtaining this type of license. While a valid driver's license and proof of residency are often considered as identification requirements, a recommendation letter from law enforcement is not typically required as part of the application process. The only necessary requirement is completing a firearms safety course approved by the state of New Mexico.
