Which of the following is a legal location to carry a concealed handgun in New Mexico with a valid permit?

Schools
Government buildings
Restaurants serving alcohol
State parks

The correct answer is: State parks

Carrying a concealed handgun in New Mexico with a valid permit is permissible in state parks. New Mexico law allows for the carrying of concealed firearms in most outdoor spaces, including state parks, as long as individuals follow the regulations that apply to firearms in these areas. While there may still be restrictions in certain designated areas or special events within parks, generally, those with a concealed carry permit can carry in state parks. Other locations specified, such as schools, government buildings, and restaurants that serve alcohol, are generally off-limits for concealed carry. Schools are specifically protected zones, government buildings may have strict regulations against firearms, and many restaurants that serve alcohol prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons to ensure public safety.
