What are the requirements for a CHL in New Mexico?
Applicants for a concealed carry license must be U.S. citizens and residents of New Mexico. They must be at least 21 years old and must not have been convicted of a felony or any crime involving domestic violence. Other misdemeanor convictions of violence or substance abuse that occurred more than 10 years prior to applying for a concealed handgun license will not be used to deny a license. They must provide State of New Mexico identification and fingerprint cards for background checks. Applicants must read and comply with the statute and rules, then submit all completed forms and authorizations with payment for all fees. Incomplete applications will be returned. See the new statute for specific details. Q: The Concealed Carry Act of 2005 Sec. 29-19-6 F. (3) states: “a certificate of completion of a four-hour refresher firearms training course approved by the department “. Is there a certificate designed just for renewals, or does my instructor just use the standard class certificate?
