I hope you are right, but he is a Democrat and has friends within the anti organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, which was started by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Mennino.
At a summit meeting with this group one of the leaders, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy, was interviewed and asked about Obama bin Ladens presidential chances. I found his response disconcerting

Healy chose not muse about Obama's chances to win over Hudson County, or specifically Jersey City, voters in the presidential election.

"It would just be way too early to speculate on any of the candidates for president," said Healy. "He is certainly charismatic and he is a fresh face, so to speak, and I think he would be a great spokesman for our causes in Jersey City." But, he added, "So would Senator Clinton, John Edwards or [New Mexico Gov.] Bill Richardson."

I found a good article here here
So far it is still only a bill. although passed by the senate by 26 -5 it still going to need the house vote and Governor signing.

Tired of having to ditch your gun for that quick dash into the grocery store?

Lawmakers have a solution for you.

The state Senate has voted to make it legal for New Mexicans who are licensed to carry concealed weapons to take them into stores that sell alcohol for off-premises consumption. That could include, for example, convenience stores or gas stations or big-box retailers.

It would remain illegal to take concealed handguns into bars or other places that served liquor.

The Senate voted 26-5 for the bill, sending it to the House.

Under current law, it's a fourth-degree felony to carry a concealed weapon into a store that sells packaged alcohol.

Concealed-carry licensees "don't want to be walking into a place and breaking the law," said Senate Republican Leader Stuart Ingle of Portales, who sponsored the legislation.

"Rather than having to take (the guns) off ... they'd rather just carry them in there," Ingle said.
And he argued it could prove safer, since guns could be stolen if they were left in vehicles when owners go into a store.

Supporters of the legislation also cited the August 2005 incident in an Albuquerque Wal-Mart in which a man with a concealed handgun fatally shot a man who was stabbing his ex-wife, who worked in the store.
