You can conceal in your home and car but if you don't have a license you're not allowed to conceal when you're walking around in public in NM.
Got it. Thank-you.

Taken from the New Mexico DPS website.

Question: If I have my gun holstered in “plain view” on my belt will I be breaking the law?

Answer: New Mexico is an Open Carry State, meaning it is legal to carry a loaded weapon as long as it is not concealed. However, it is not legal to carry any firearm in any federal building or school. It is the responsibility of the person carrying the firearm to be informed as to when/where carrying is prohibited.
