Update on Right-to-Carry Reciprocity in New Mexico

Posted on May 1, 2012

Statement from the New Mexico Department of Public Safety:

In response to several inquiries, it is important to clarify information relating to the Department of Public Safety’s audit of other states’ concealed carry statutes.

First, it is important to note that the Department of Public Safety has not made final decisions to change reciprocity agreements or recognition of other states, but rather DPS is conducting an audit of those statutes to ensure compliance with New Mexico state law.

The information on this web page differentiates those states that have concealed carry laws that are substantially similar to New Mexico’s law (or more stringent) from those that do not.  For those states that have had reciprocity agreements with New Mexico, but do not now have a similar law to ours, NM DPS will contact those states to clarify which permit holders from that state are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon in New Mexico.  This will not affect the vast majority of permit holders in states with current reciprocity agreements.

For example, if New Mexico currently has a reciprocity agreement with a particular state that allows individuals under age 21, non-citizens, and/or individuals convicted of violent crimes to obtain a concealed carry permit, then NM DPS will work to adjust the reciprocity agreement to clarify to that state’s permit holders that they can carry a concealed weapon in New Mexico so long as they are a U.S. Citizen, over 21 years of age, and not convicted of disqualifying violent crimes.  

Information on this webpage will be updated to include those states that (a) have a current reciprocity agreement that will not need to be adjusted because they have a concealed carry statute that is similar to New Mexico’s (or more stringent), (b) have a current reciprocity agreement that must be adjusted to ensure compliance with New Mexico law, and (c) have not entered into any reciprocity agreement with the state.

It appears that West Virginia and Texas now have reciprocity since Feb 2012. Pls confirm and update map.

Thanks,
Phil

For Info: As of Nov 1, 2011, we can start carrying in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's new law takes effect Nov 1 and it will have reciprocity with 25 states (including Texas).

Took effect Aug. 30th, 2009, according to the link on http://statepatrol.nebraska.gov/ConcealCarry.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, then click on Nebraska Reciprocity under the Quick Links to the right.

You are absolutely correct. My apologies. I was thinking of the recently passed Iowa laws which go into effect Jan 1, 2011 and recognize all other states' permits.

The NE law doesn't take effect until about Feb 2011.

Re the map, I don't believe NV accepts FL since Jul 1, 2009. Plz confirm.
