Yes. NM does not have a requirement in its law that residents must possess a NM license to carry in NM, when they are licensed by any state that is recognized by NM. See below for the states recognized by NM.

Yes. NM does not have a requirement in its law that residents must possess a NM license to carry in NM, when they are licensed by any state that is recognized by NM. See below for the states recognized by NM. Please note that though I would oppose any change to this part of our law, I strongly urge NM residents to take a NM CHL Class and license in NM. NM Statutes differ significantly from any other state and not recognizing parts of NM law that conflict with another state could make you a felon or get you charged with an offense and fined at best.
