I have seen four OC since became legal in NM. Three in Sam's, one in Wal Mart. No issues with any of them.Beiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse. Carry Concealed.
You better not see any OC in Sam's or Walmart in NM. It is a felony. They sell beer and wine.WTR wrote:I have seen four OC since became legal in NM. Three in Sam's, one in Wal Mart. No issues with any of them.Beiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse. Carry Concealed.
I just looked at the Sam's Club membership agreement - nothing about firearms.mr1337 wrote:I would assume that Sam's Club would be okay with OC since they're owned by Wal-MartBeiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse. Carry Concealed.

Incorrect. Here is the New Mexico law on carrying in establishments that sell alcohol for off-premise consumption:SoConfused wrote:Could you please elaborate why?Beiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse. Carry Concealed.
So you can carry in a liquor store or location that sells alcohol for take-home if you have a license. Same goes for resturants as long as they only sell beer or wine and make less than 40% from those sales.30-7-3. Unlawful Carrying Of a Firearm in Licensed Liquor Establishments. (Restaurant Carry Legal)

license for that gun pursuant to the Concealed Handgun Carry Act on the premises of:

Funny, the 3 I saw at Sam's ( all members of the same family) had 2 uniformed Sheriff's Deputies behind them in line and even asked about the Kimbers they each had........ Nothing was said about illegal carry.OldCurlyWolf wrote:You better not see any OC in Sam's or Walmart in NM. It is a felony.

I can't say what Beiruty had in mind, but I assume that he feels that if they start having a bunch of issues, it draws attention to their somewhat relaxed enforcement here.SoConfused wrote:Could you please elaborate why?Beiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse.

Yes, I got that and certainly agree. If I would have known, I never would have open carried there. My fault since it's plain as day on the membership agreement I signed, but failed to read.JALLEN wrote:I can't say what Beiruty had in mind, but I assume that he feels that if they start having a bunch of issues, it draws attention to their somewhat relaxed enforcement here.SoConfused wrote:Could you please elaborate why?Beiruty wrote:Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse.

Strictly speaking, the manager should accompany you to the membership counter, give you a full refund of your membership fee for the year and cancel your membership. Like it or not, that is their official policy. The managers are informally relaxing that, as long as nobody makes a big deal out of it.
I've been a Costco member since a couple of months after Mr. Price started up Price Club in ~1976. Of course, carry isn't much of an issue in San Diego, then or now.
In our local Costco my wife forgot to cover hers. On the way out one of the employees just asked her to cover it. So indeed, they're definitely being more lax, which is a good thing! After Las Vegas, I always make sure it's covered when we go.JALLEN wrote:Strictly speaking, the manager should accompany you to the membership counter, give you a full refund of your membership fee for the year and cancel your membership.
