New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is a permit required to purchase a firearm in New Mexico?

1. Yes, for all firearms

2. No

3. Yes, but only for handguns

4. Yes, but only for semi-automatic weapons

The correct answer is: No

In New Mexico, a permit is not required to purchase a firearm, regardless of the type of gun. This applies to both handguns and semi-automatic weapons. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they indicate that a permit is required for some or all firearms in New Mexico, which is not the case. Additionally, it is important to note that there may be other state and federal requirements, such as background checks, that must be completed before purchasing a firearm.
