As I understand the law listed below, any place with a liquor license of any kind is off limits. I'm so glad I live in Texas!
"Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon consists of carrying a concealed loaded firearm, and is a petty misdemeanor; however, it is a felony crime to carry a firearm, loaded or unloaded, into any area of any licensed liquor establishment in the State of New Mexico (See Sections 30-7-2 and 30-7-3, NMSA 1978). There is not an exception in the law for those who have obtained concealed firearms licenses. If though you may have a valid concealed firearm license, you shall not carry any firearm, loaded or unloaded, into any licensed liquor establishment.
A licensed liquor establishment is any business licensed to sell, serve and/or permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises; or any establishment which has been issued a license by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department’s Alcohol and Gaming Division to sell, serve or dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on, or off, the licensed premises.
There are a wide variety of “licensed liquor establishments” in New Mexico, including: saloons, bars, taverns, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, pizza parlors, golf courses, country clubs, private and fraternal clubs, racetracks, sportplexes, coliseums, pavilions, concert theaters, hotel lounges, gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, supermarkets, mixed product stores (i.e. Wal-Mart, Costco, Walgreen’s, Sam’s Club, Furr’s, Smith’s, Raley’s, etc…) It is a felony to carry any firearm, loaded or unloaded, into any area of these businesses (See Sections 60-3A-3.M, & 30-7-3, NMSA 1978)."
