Does New Mexico recognize concealed carry permits from other states?

  1. Yes, from all states

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only from states with similar requirements

  4. Yes, but it is at law enforcement's discretion

The correct answer is: Yes, but only from states with similar requirements

New Mexico does recognize concealed carry permits from other states, but only from states with similar requirements. This means that if a state's requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit are similar to New Mexico's, then their permit will be recognized. However, if a state's requirements are not similar, then their permit may not be recognized. Option A is incorrect because New Mexico does not recognize permits from all states. Option B is incorrect because as stated before, New Mexico does recognize permits from some states. Option D is incorrect because it is not at law enforcement's discretion. The decision to recognize a permit is based on whether the other state's requirements are similar to New Mexico's.
