New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is a requirement for storing firearms in a home with children in New Mexico?

Using a gun safe

Keeping it unloaded and locked

Using a trigger lock

There are no specific requirements

In New Mexico, while there are guidelines and best practices for firearm storage, there are no specific legal requirements mandating how firearms must be stored in homes with children. This means that, as of the last update, the law does not enforce particular methods such as using a gun safe, keeping firearms unloaded and locked, or employing trigger locks specifically for homes with children.

It is, however, considered a best practice to use safe storage methods to prevent access by children, and many advocacy organizations recommend methods like gun safes or trigger locks for safety, but these remain suggestions rather than legal obligations. Therefore, the notion that there are no specific requirements aligns with the current legal framework in New Mexico regarding firearm storage in homes with children.
