HB 641 Signed Into Law!

ATTENTION NEW MEXICO CONCEALED HANDGUN INSTRUCTORS~HB 641 SIGNED INTO LAW!

(April 7, 2005)

 

On Wednesday, Governor Bill Richardson (D) signed HB 641, the Right To Carry
Reform bill, into law while visiting the NRA Whittington Center in Raton.
HB 641, sponsored by Rep. John Heaton (D-Carlsbad) & Sen. Shannon Robinson
(D-Albuquerque), lowers the minimum age requirement for a Concealed Handgun
License from 25 to 21, extends the term of a license from 2 to 4 years, and
allows the New Mexico Department of Public Safety to enter into reciprocal
agreements with certain other states.   The law will take effect on June 17.
I will keep you posted on any public hearings scheduled in late spring or
early summer to discuss implementation of this new law.

 

Thank you for your calls and emails during the legislative session to help
pass HB 641!
