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

State parks
Restaurants serving alcohol
Federal buildings
Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Federal buildings

The answer is not A, because State Parks are not federally-owned buildings and New Mexico law does not restrict the carrying of handguns in state parks. The answer is not B, because although New Mexico law restricts carrying a firearm in establishments that serve alcohol, it does allow those with a concealed carry permit to carry in these establishments. The answer is not D, because New Mexico law does allow individuals to carry a firearm in their own private vehicle as long as it is not within reach of the driver or passenger. The correct answer is C, because it is illegal to carry a firearm in federal buildings in New Mexico regardless of whether or not the individual has a concealed carry permit. This includes federal courthouses, post offices, and other federal government buildings. It is also important to note that federal laws and regulations may vary and may restrict carrying firearms in additional locations within the state. Therefore, it is important for individuals to research and understand both state and federal laws regarding the carrying of firearms in New Mexico.
