Yes, now read the law. It says no guns in ANY liquor establishment, and one of the exceptions is for people with a CHL, but the gun must be concealed.
Once again, for anybody who doesn't get it: no OC in licensed liquor establishments. None.
yes, it looks similar the the stupid law in NC. a couple of points i see; it can be interpreted that you can not carry of any kind in an establishment that "sells and consume" , and not serve food
who is in possession of a valid concealed handgun license for
that gun pursuant to the Concealed Handgun Carry Act on the
premises of:
(a) a licensed establishment that does
not sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises;
or
(b) a restaurant licensed to sell only
beer and wine that derives no less than sixty percent of its
annual gross receipts from the sale of food for consumption
on the premises, unless the restaurant has a sign posted, in
a conspicuous location at each public entrance, prohibiting
the carrying of firearms, or the person is verbally
instructed by the owner or manager that the carrying of a
firearm is not permitted in the restaurant;
another exception to the rule is government employees. i hope that the good citizens of NM will get their full rights . we are on the cusp of getting ours.
