New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

A felony conviction is any conviction of a crime that is punishable by more than one year in prison. This includes violent felony convictions, felony convictions involving theft, and felony drug convictions. Therefore, all of the other options are incorrect because they are not comprehensive and exclude potential felony convictions that would disqualify someone from possessing a firearm in New Mexico. Option B only includes violent felony convictions, which means non-violent felony convictions would not disqualify someone from possessing a firearm. Option C only includes felony convictions involving theft, which again does not cover all potential felony convictions. Option D only includes felony drug convictions, which misses other potential felony convictions such as violent crimes or felonies involving theft. Therefore, option A is the correct answer because it encompasses all types of felony convictions that would disqualify someone from possessing a firearm in New Mexico.
