New Mexico Gov Suspends Public Carry of Firearms Amid Surge in Gun Violence

New Mexico Gov.

Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for 30 days due to a surge in gun violence.

The order has sparked legal challenges and concerns about constitutional rights among law enforcement officials.

State police will enforce the order as civil violations, but local police and the county sheriff have expressed reservations.
