What is the penalty for carrying a concealed handgun in New Mexico without a valid permit?

  1. A fine up to $1,000

  2. Mandatory community service

  3. Up to 18 months in jail

  4. Both A and C

The correct answer is: Both A and C

Carrying a concealed handgun in New Mexico without a valid permit is a serious offense. While A and C are part of the correct answer, only D contains all the correct elements. Option B is incorrect because mandatory community service is not a penalty for this particular offense. Option C is also incorrect because it does not mention the possibility of a fine, which is also a common penalty for this offense. Thus, option D is the most complete and accurate answer.
