Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico?

State parks
Public roads
Bars and restaurants that serve alcohol
Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Bars and restaurants that serve alcohol

New Mexico is an open carry state, meaning that it is legal to openly carry a firearm in public without a license. However, it is still important to know where it is illegal to carry a firearm. While it may be tempting to think that carrying a firearm is illegal on public roads and in private vehicles, these are actually incorrect choices. Since these are public spaces, it is legal to carry a firearm in these locations. Similarly, while state parks are not explicitly mentioned in New Mexico's gun laws, they are public spaces and therefore not illegal to carry a firearm in. The correct answer is C, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. This is because these establishments are considered private property and therefore, the owner has the right to restrict firearms on their premises. It is important to always respect the laws and gun-free zones in the state you are in.
