New Mexico No Longer Honors the Alaska, Idaho, Tennessee and West Virginia Permits to Carry.
I am not sure why they dropped them. The link below will take you to their listing. You have
to scroll down the page. I have been lax in making updates here as I have been busy
going through each State Page and have almost completed checking all the states so far making sure every link works
and goes to the Latest edition of a Statute/Admin Rule and Documentlisted on each state page.
That takes a lot of time and hoping to go through the remaining state Pages.
Then I will start on all the Documents on the site. That will take some time also. But making headway
and still traveling here and there and enjoying life especially since I can carry my legal defensive tool
along with me. Stay Safe, Gary Slider

Outstanding work Gary. Much appreciated. We were at our new WVa property this weekend. As stated NM is changing. Not for the better. Hard to believe the citizens are allowing it. Just based on geographical location it doesn’t seem right. But admittedly I’ve never been there and know very little about it
 
I lived in the Four Corners area of NM for 8 years, and my daughter still lives in ABQ. You can keep ABQ now that Ron Peterson’s is closed, but I liked the rest.

I could drive pretty much any direction for 15 minutes and find a place to shoot all by my lonesome - either BLM or national forest or the reservation. I probably killed 100,000 prairie dogs that were peacefully munching Navajo potatoes.

NM was a blue state when I moved there in 2008 and has gotten bluer since. There’s now a 7 day waiting period, and probably more restrictions to come.

Its all demographics.
 
I'm hoping to leave NM for someplace more conservative. The politicians here are mostly left wing whack jobs pushing the socialist agenda. NM is a poor state and many people vote for whoever offers more hand outs. Albuquerque has been in the top 10 for violent crime for as long as I can remember and it's not getting better. The mayor has made Albuquerque a sanctuary city for the homeless. The police have their hands tied and the chief is the mayor's puppy. Nuf said.
 
That's bad news. My sister and her husband live in Albuquerque, and I've always been glad I could carry there. I still can carry with my Texas license, but it looks like the handwriting is on the wall. I've hoped that my sister and BIL would leave for safer grounds, but she has a job there she loves and will never retire from, and though retired, he is a ABQ native and is not going anywhere. So they're there to stay I'm afraid.

Thanks for keeping us up to date!

Ron Peterson's is still open, though they are selling on GB now. I've gotten some decent deals.

If I win I call, do the paperwork and dig through the misc stuff they have in the small front area. There's some good deals and it's always changing. Last year, they had a sidewalk sale, they were blowing out all kinds of stuff!

If you want I can PM you the GB auction links.
 
Top to bottom, NM is run by the blues. They've had this state for generations. In the last 4 or 5 election cycles, radicals have primary-ed out all the "conservative" blues and, well, that's how midget Michelle and co. have done what they've done.

But I don't blame the people in office, I blame the "New Mexico True", the idiots who keep voting blue.
 
I had heard Ron Peterson’s was doing some online stuff, but its not the same. I used to roam the store for deals (and got quite a few) then go across the street to Loyola’s for lunch.

A year or two before they stopped regular business a fellow agent’s 80 year old Dad came out of the store with a Luger he had just purchased and was robbed and beaten on the sidewalk before he could get to his car. In broad daylight. He was armed (with a Colt 1903!) but never had a chance to draw.

ABQ is tough town. As the saying goes: Albuquerque - I came for the food but stayed because they stole my car.

I heard about the guy getting beat up and robbed.

I'd been going to Ron's forever, so we probably been in the store at the same time at one point or another. You know it's bad when they know you by name and sight! Anyway, you're right, it's not the same.

My best friend was an agent ABQ. He was there around the time or a little after the Pan Am building was built. There was another guy who was sniper IIRC - really nice guy! My boss gave him some laminated armored windshield glass from brinks trucks to test ballistics. He gave us all some FBI swag. I have the hat gave us in my collection.

Anyway, If you want the auction links, I'll PM them if you want.
 
I saw on the Washington Gun Law site that there is a big case against the state of Massachusetts, going to a federal court that is challenging the state to state restrictions on CC. They are arguing that you can't lose your second amendment rights when you cross a state line. The case for the plaintiffs looks somewhat promising.
 
In 1996 or so I went to Albuquerque for a conference. The week before an official from a town near where i lived in MA had been there for a different conference and got shot in front of the hotel where I was staying.

I was a bit surprised, only because I really didn't know anything about the city or the state for that matter. When I talked to some of the locals, they told me ABQ had a very big gang problem.

I guess it's only got worse since. As in MA, the laws in NM seem designed to protect the criminals from their potential victims.

Why should you not be able? Hope it gets to the top before any changes in the court.

Worked and have lived part time in New Mexico for decades. Great memories of Ron's shop on Central and many other places around the state. Much truth in the above observations; particularly the quote by Territorial Governor Lew Wallace.
