Due to the low Southwest Air fares (you are now free to move around the country) I was planning a trip to New Mexico to fish the San Juan River, (second best trout river in the USA) and Utah, to visit the wives, then home. Checked http://www.packing.org/
about reciprocity and limits on where you can carry in NM. I have a MA, ME and NH CC permit. If you add up all the places you can’t carry in New Mexico, for instance tribal lands, ~27 reservations, all military bases, White Sands, Cannon AFB, Holloman AFG, state parks and convenience store that sells bear and wine, well the list is below
• Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon on school or pre-school premises.
• Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon on university premises
• Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon in licensed liquor establishments****
• Courts (without the consent of the presiding judge)
• Tribal Land (unless authorized by the tribal council)
• On a snowmobile (unless there is no round in the chamber)
• Airport security zones
• State parks
• Many federal properties - military bases, national parks, national monuments, etc.
• While under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon on a bus
Over 60% of the state is federal and Indian property so you are left with a pretty narrow north south corridor from Chama to El Paso and east west from the Texas boarder to Arizona along the highway. I fished Wyoming, Utah and Colorado in ’04 for five weeks, no problem, no haste but New Mexico isn’t worth the chance of breaking the law. I thought Massachusetts was bad until I saw this.
