"New Mexico Governor Implements Temporary Ban on Public Firearms Carry in Albuquerque"

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days due to a recent surge in gun violence, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy. The order exempts police and licensed security guards, but violators could face civil penalties and fines. Those with concealed carry permits can transport guns to certain private locations as long as they are secured. While some law enforcement officials have expressed reservations about the order, the governor believes it is necessary to address the issue of gun violence.
