What does New Mexico law require to sell a firearm privately?

  1. A background check through a licensed dealer

  2. Notification of the local police department

  3. Both A and B are required

  4. No specific requirements by law

The correct answer is: No specific requirements by law

New Mexico law does not require a background check or notification to the police when selling a firearm privately. While option A may seem like a logical requirement to ensure the safety of the buyer and seller, New Mexico is one of the few states that does not have this requirement for private firearm sales. Option B is also incorrect as there is no notification requirement to the local police department. Option C is incorrect as it suggests both options A and B are necessary, which is not the case according to New Mexico law. Option D is the correct answer as no specific requirements are mandated by law for private firearm sales.
