"Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks New Mexico Governor's Gun Ban"

A federal judge has temporarily halted New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's 30-day order suspending the open and concealed carrying of guns in the Albuquerque area. The order, issued in response to recent shootings, faced bipartisan condemnation for violating gun rights and constitutional concerns. The judge indicated that the order would cause irreparable harm to citizens' gun rights and issued a temporary restraining order. The court will hold a hearing on the merits of the order on October 3. Republican senators have called the order an "unconstitutional power grab" and have asked the Attorney General to intervene.
