Frequently Asked Questions

What action did the New Mexico Governor take regarding gun carry laws?

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham initially issued an executive order attempting to suspend open and concealed carry rights in Albuquerque and a surrounding county due to a declared public health emergency. This order was later amended to ban carry only in public parks and playgrounds after a restraining order was issued against the initial ban.

What was the outcome of the legal challenge to the New Mexico governor's gun carry ban?

A federal district court in New Mexico granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the governor's initial public health order banning gun carry. This TRO enjoined the enforcement of key sections of the order until a preliminary injunction hearing could take place.

How did the New Mexico Attorney General react to the governor's gun carry ban?

New Mexico's Attorney General stated that his office would not defend the governor's administration in the legal challenges to the public health emergency order. He believed the order would not significantly impact public safety and, more importantly, did not pass constitutional muster.

What is the significance of the Supreme Court's Bruin decision in this context?

The Supreme Court's Bruin decision is significant because it rejected state attempts to declare entire cities as sensitive places and ban concealed carry, as such broad restrictions lack historical precedent. This ruling is being used to challenge New Mexico's carry ban and similar measures.
