Is open carry of a handgun legal in New Mexico without a permit?

Yes, throughout the state
No, it is prohibited
Yes, but only in rural areas
Yes, but with certain municipal restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, throughout the state

In New Mexico, it is legal to openly carry a handgun without a permit throughout the state. This means that you are allowed to openly carry a handgun in all public areas, including cities and towns, without a permit. Option B is incorrect because it states that open carry is prohibited, which is not true in New Mexico. Option C is incorrect because it states that open carry is only allowed in rural areas, which is also not true. Option D is incorrect because it states that open carry is allowed with certain municipal restrictions, which is not the case in New Mexico where open carry is allowed throughout the state without any restrictions.
