In August I will be spending a few days in New Mexico. Are there any unusual carry rules to be aware of while visiting there?
Thanks in advance,
John

Re: Concealed Carry in New Mexico
Only one I know of that is "strange" is that you can only conceal one pistol on yourself...no BUG in NM.
Also, not on any public bus or on any tribal land, unless the tribe allows it (What tribe would allow the white man to carry weapons on their land?)

The links others have posted will give you the details. I like carrying in NM. After crossing the Texas/NM border, I untuck my shirt from over my pistol.John Galt wrote:In August I will be spending a few days in New Mexico. Are there any unusual carry rules to be aware of while visiting there?

D -197 and counting!

Watch out for these and other differences with Texas law:
* Unlicensed open carry for 21 years old and older.
* No-Guns signs have the force of law.
* No 51% or 30.06 signs.
* Alcohol rules are different - read the details.
* Only one concealed handgun.
Have fun!
