In New Mexico, is parental permission required for minors to possess or carry firearms?

Yes, in all cases
No, there are no such laws
Yes, but only for handguns, not for rifles or shotguns
Yes, but there are exceptions for hunting and shooting sports

The correct answer is: Yes, but there are exceptions for hunting and shooting sports

Minors in New Mexico are generally required to obtain parental permission in order to possess or carry firearms. However, there are certain exceptions for hunting and shooting sports, where minors may be allowed to possess or carry firearms without parental permission. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for these exceptions. While B and C suggest that there are no laws or restrictions on minors possessing or carrying firearms in New Mexico, A states that parental permission is always required, which is not entirely true due to the exceptions mentioned in the correct answer.
