Is open carry of a firearm permitted in New Mexico?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. No, it is not permitted

  3. Yes, but only with a permit

  4. Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of a firearm is permitted in the state of New Mexico without needing a permit. This means that individuals are legally allowed to visibly carry a firearm in public without any special permission or license. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all state that a permit is required for open carry, which is not the case in New Mexico. It is important to research and understand the specific laws and regulations in the state where you plan to carry a firearm.
