New Mexico Drops AK, ID, TN & WV

Gary Slider · September 5, 2024, 06:56 PM

New Mexico No Longer Honors the Alaska, Idaho, Tennessee and West Virginia Permits to Carry.
I am not sure why they dropped them. The link below will take you to their listing. You have
to scroll down the page. I have been lax in making updates here as I have been busy
going through each State Page and have almost completed checking all the states so far making sure every link works
and goes to the Latest edition of a Statute/Admin Rule and Documentlisted on each state page.
That takes a lot of time and hoping to go through the remaining state Pages.
Then I will start on all the Documents on the site. That will take some time also. But making headway
and still traveling here and there and enjoying life especially since I can carry my legal defensive tool
along with me. Stay Safe, Gary Slider

RE: Idaho
Is this just for the regular permit, or is the enhanced permit comparable to the infamous Utah permit included?

NM is more blue than red; I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Most assuredly.

Just a quick note to Mr. Slider: no one appreciates your valuable updates more than myself.

You don't need a permit to carry in AK

But, like many permitless-carry states, Alaska issues permits for the benefit of Alaska residents who hope to get reciprocity with other states.

And now New Mexico doesn't recognize Alaska carry permits for reciprocity.

Having to constantly keep up with the ever-changing carry laws of other states is nearly impossible. If I were to travel from Virginia to Wyoming, there would be at least 3-4 "sketchy" carry states, any one of which could land me in prison for not knowing if they offer reciprocity or not. This is unfair and should be unconstitutional. Probably is unconstitutional!

It's certainly a nuisance, I agree that it's unfair, and only the courts can declare it unconstitutional. The lack of reciprocity is the reason why I have carry licenses/permits from five different states. Even with that, I think I'm only good in about 30 states.

Gary Slider's www.handgunlaw.us site has long been my go-to source for up-to-date information regarding where I can safely travel.

Makes sense. Falls into the category of States Rights. Kind of ironic that Federal Government was intended to be limited and then its the answer.

That New Mexico is turning anti-gun is no surprise. The writing was on that wall 10+ years ago. Though the media likes to report that WV, MS, AL, and other southern states are "poor" (usually as a means of denigrating people who vote a certain way)... I posit that NM is quite a poor state itself, at least on par with many Southeastern states, and it tends to vote a different trend. No political party has a monopoly on lower class voters.

Lots of artsy types live there now so that is no surprise that they are very "blue" today.
