Which of the following is NOT a requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in New Mexico?

  1. Being 21 years of age or older

  2. Passing a background check

  3. Completing a firearms training course

  4. Proof of residency

The correct answer is: Completing a firearms training course

Completing a firearms training course is not a requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in New Mexico. The other options are all necessary conditions for purchasing a handgun in the state. Being 21 years of age or older is a federal law, while passing a background check and providing proof of residency are both state requirements. However, completing a firearms training course is not mandated by the state of New Mexico.
