Which of the following places is it illegal to carry a firearm in New Mexico, even with a concealed carry permit?

State parks
Private vehicles
Schools
Bars and restaurants that serve alcohol

The correct answer is: Schools

Carrying a firearm in schools is illegal in New Mexico, even for those with a concealed carry permit. This regulation is in place to enhance safety in educational environments, protecting students and staff from potential firearm-related incidents. Schools are considered sensitive areas where the presence of firearms can lead to heightened risks and concerns regarding safety and security. While there are restrictions in other places, such as establishments that serve alcohol or certain public spaces like parks, they may have specific stipulations or exceptions for concealed carry permit holders. Thus, schools remain a clear prohibition in the framework of New Mexico's gun laws.
