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

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in rural areas

  4. Only with local permission

The correct answer is: Yes

Open carry of a loaded firearm is legal in New Mexico without a permit. While options C and D may seem like possible answers, they are both incorrect. Open carry is legal in both rural and urban areas of New Mexico as long as you are not in a prohibited location, such as a school or government building. Additionally, local permission is not required as state law allows for the open carry of firearms without a permit. Option B is also incorrect as it implies that open carry is not legal in New Mexico at all, which is false.
