What is required to sell a firearm to another individual in New Mexico?

The sale must be processed through a licensed firearms dealer
A bill of sale and a witness
Registration of the sale with the state police
No specific requirements other than both parties being of legal age to own a firearm

The correct answer is: The sale must be processed through a licensed firearms dealer

In order to legally sell a firearm to another individual in New Mexico, you are required to process the sale through a licensed firearms dealer. This requirement ensures that the sale is conducted lawfully and that the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm. The other options, (B) and (C), may be recommended but are not legally required. Additionally, (D) is incorrect because even though there are no state laws requiring a permit or license to purchase a firearm, the sale must still be processed through a licensed dealer.
