Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico, even with a concealed carry permit?

  1. State parks

  2. Private vehicles

  3. Schools

  4. Bars and restaurants serving alcohol

The correct answer is: Schools

In New Mexico, it is illegal to carry a firearm in any public or private school, even if you have a concealed carry permit. This includes any school building, school bus, or school premises. This law also applies to college campuses. Options A and B are incorrect because it is legal to carry a firearm in state parks and private vehicles with a concealed carry permit as long as you follow all state and federal laws. Option D is incorrect because in New Mexico, you are allowed to carry a firearm in bars and restaurants serving alcohol as long as you are not consuming alcohol and the establishment does not have a "No Weapons" sign posted. However, it is important to note that if you are intoxicated, it is illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico.
