Can a person drink alcohol while carrying a concealed firearm in New Mexico?

Yes, if not intoxicated
No
Yes, but only in private residences
Yes, with permission from the establishment owner

The correct answer is: No

In the state of New Mexico, it is illegal to consume alcohol while carrying a concealed firearm, regardless of whether or not the person is intoxicated. This applies to all public places and private establishments, including private residences. The only exception is for law enforcement officials who are on duty. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A suggests that it is okay to drink alcohol while carrying a concealed firearm as long as the person is not intoxicated, which is not true according to state law. Option C suggests that it is acceptable to drink alcohol while carrying a concealed firearm in private residences, but as mentioned, this is also illegal. Option D implies that permission from the establishment owner is required, but this does not change the fact that it is illegal to consume alcohol while carrying a concealed firearm in public places.
