There are a lot of questions on here about traveling in New Mexico, which is not surprising considering that NM is next to TX :)

As an NM CHL instructor (and soon to be TX CHL instructor), I consider these links a very good start in understanding our laws:

Handgunlaw.us Summary

Prohibited Places in N.M. (including signage requirements)

N.M. Weapons Laws

N.M. Use Of Force Flowchart, Statute and Selected Jury Instructions

N.M. CHL Statute

N.M. CHL Admin Rules

I also think it would be great if we created sticky threads in this section for every state bordering Texas. At a minimum it needs a summary, weapons laws, use of force laws, and CHL rules for each state.

The flowchart is especially instructive. Great post...

Thanks for the links. If you have an iPhone "Gun Conceal" is a really nice app that gives you info on all 50 states. Its come in handy a number of times.

I'm heading to Red River to go skiing tomorrow. These links were very helpful, thanks!

Just out of curiosity, how does NM deal with CHLs who carry in tribal lands while on Federal roads (interstate/us highway)? Are they subject to the "no carry w/o permission"?
