To Keep Reciprocity New Mexico RKBA Needs Your Help.

[Gary Slider]

Steve Aikens who is my Partner in Handgunlaw.us lobbies for the RKBA in New Mexico. If you have not heard NM just dropped Utah as a state they honor. From all that I am hearing they may drop a lot of other states. Steve and others who Lobby for RKBA's in NM need our help. Here is the info they need for every state that will honor other states permits/licenses.

Do you have anything that shows which states require you to be a U.S. Citizen to get licensed? If they do not require it, what residency
requirements do they have? Do they have a Citizenship requirement but offer waivers to certain non-immigrant legal aliens?

Could you please post here the law for your state that shows residency requirements to obtain a permit/License and What I really need is the law quoted or the Alpha/Numeric code for the law in your state. Thank you so much for any help you can give me to help them.

It is more simple to post a site for the full info in Louisiana. But a person does have to be a US CItizen to be legal to carry or possess.

This site also has links to many more things like the FULL CCW law cannot purchase a firearm. It is highly likely that a rule exists in federal law to prohibit a non citizen from having a gun in the US.

Interesting. Sounds like NM is not going to reciprocate with any state that gives a license to a non-citizen?

Steve and I thank you for your help. Steve has everything he needs now. Thank you again. Now we just have to wait and see what happens in NM.

Texas allows some legal aliens to get a CHL, but it is not an easy process. I know Steve, and I spend a fair amount of time in NM, so I'll do what I can. Bad enough that I can only carry one gun at a time in your fair state; don't need to lose reciprocity altogether.

New Mexico No Longer Recognizes Utah
Concealed Carry License
Santa Fe—Effective immediately New Mexico will no longer recognize concealed carry licenses
issued by the State of Utah for the purposes of reciprocity in New Mexico, as the requirements for
licensure in Utah do not meet the standards required in New Mexico statute. Rules governing the
concealed carrying of weapons and issuance of licenses require that training and other provisions
be as stringent or substantially similar to New Mexico requirements.
Questions concerning licenses obtained from Utah by New Mexico residents have made it
necessary to reevaluate which states will be recognized as valid in New Mexico.
“We’ve had situations where certain concealed carry instructors in New Mexico solicit clients with
the promise that if they train here and obtain a Utah license, which entails significantly less
training than does a New Mexico license, it will qualify here,” said Department of Public Safety
Secretary John Denko. “This is incorrect, and is nothing less than an effort to circumvent New
Mexico concealed carry requirements which are designed to protect the public safety while
honoring individual rights under the Second Amendment of the constitution.”
The state will also review the status of eighteen other states currently recognized on an informal
basis, with the intent of entering into written agreements with these states to ensure compliance
with New Mexico law. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wyoming.
New Mexico currently has a written reciprocity agreement in place with Texas; the status of this
agreement will remain unchanged.

I believe, amoung other things, the lack of a live fire qualification may be an issue (as well as the fact that NM isn't collecting their $100).

I believe this is the wave if the future.
I maybe mistaken but I belive Colorado doesn't recognize Non-Resident out of state license either.

Tennessee recognizes all valid licenses from other states, but a Tennessee resident must have a TN permit to carry in TN.

My state does not ask for reciprocity agreements . Idaho considers your state's permit good here , it must be in your possession . If NM does not grant the same respect to the the great state of Utah , we should give the land of enchantment back to Mexico .
