Which of these statements about storing firearms in a home with children is accurate according to New Mexico law?

  1. Firearms must be stored in a locked safe

  2. Firearms should be kept unloaded and locked up

  3. There are no specific requirements

  4. Firearms must have a trigger lock installed

The correct answer is: Firearms should be kept unloaded and locked up

In New Mexico, it is recommended that firearms be stored unloaded and locked up in a safe, especially when children are present in the home. This helps to prevent any accidents or unauthorized access to the firearms. Option A and D are not entirely accurate, as they both only mention one aspect of proper storage but not the other. Option C is not correct as there are guidelines and recommendations in place for firearm storage in homes with children.
