Open carry of firearms is generally legal in New Mexico without a permit for adults, though state law and the constitution restrict carry in specific locations and on certain public premises.
New Mexico's constitution under Article II, Section 6 protects the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, lawful hunting, and recreation, while expressly stating no law shall permit the carrying of concealed weapons. Open carry is therefore broadly permissible without a license for adults aged 19 and over not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. Statutory restrictions under Chapter 30 prohibit carry on school premises, in courthouses, near polling places, and at licensed liquor establishments. Local governments retain authority to restrict carry in their own buildings, parks, and at public events.
Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon in prohibited locations is generally a fourth-degree felony, while carrying near schools may carry enhanced penalties.
