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

State parks
Private businesses that allow it
Schools
Unposted public land

The correct answer is: Schools

Carrying a firearm in New Mexico is generally allowed with a concealed carry permit, but there are some exceptions. While it is legal to carry a firearm in state parks, private businesses that allow it, and unposted public land, it is illegal to carry a firearm in schools. This is because schools are considered to be designated gun-free zones under New Mexico state law and therefore carrying a firearm on school grounds is prohibited. Additionally, it is important to note that even with a concealed carry permit, carrying a firearm on school grounds can result in serious penalties, including the revocation of the permit and criminal charges. Therefore, the only correct answer to this question is C.
