On Friday, September 8, 2023, the governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, unilaterally and unconstitutionally ordered that open and licensed concealed carry of firearms was banned in all counties above a certain threshold of violent crime. A U.S. District Court judge quickly blocked her order with a temporary restraining order, but the safe money is on the governor getting away with this attempt to curtail the liberties of the people of New Mexico with no personal consequences.
