this just came in my e-mail from TSRA. It concerns the State of New Mexico voiding their CHL reciprocity agreements with other states.

If you are planning a trip to NM in the near future and have a CHL, you might want to check with NMDPS.

I called and was transferred to the Special Investigations division. The phone number I was given 505-841-8053. I spoke with a pleasant lady who related that yes, the info I received was correct. However she stated that I could have a weapon in my vehicle, I just could not carry concealed.

New Mexico Slashes Concealed Carry Reciprocity Agreements!
Recently, the New Mexico Department of Public Safety announced an end to recognition of CHLs from, and reciprocity agreements with, a large number of states -- including Texas and other states, many that neighbor with New Mexico.

This stems from a new and different interpretation by NM DPS of that state's reciprocity law, which requires other states' concealed carry statutes to be as stringent as, or substantially similar to, New Mexico law.

We will monitor further action on situation and report back to you with any new information. In the meantime, we suggest you contact the New Mexico Department of Public Safety's Concealed Carry Unit if you have any travel plans to that state in the immediate future. Those living on the Texas-New Mexico border, be particularly cautious. Click the link below for more the New Mexico Department of Public Safety page containing the logic and a listing of the states involved. Read them all and share with yoru out of state friends.

New Mexico DPS Reciprocity Agreements with update

Did NM get some anti gun admin in power. That saw a loop hole and grabbed it.

New Mexico Has Backed Down (Updated)

NM did not add SC and KY back on the list. Also OH, WV and LA have removed NM from their list. They should add them back but Handgunlaw.us reports what states are reporting. Will add them back as they are added back. The site has been updated to show NM adding all these states back.

New Mexico DPS is reporting this evening that they will honor the following states.

New Mexico currently recognizes concealed carry permits from or has reciprocal agreements with the following states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

WV, OH and LA have already removed NM from the list of states they will honor. I am hoping they will put them back on their list.

Is reciprocity really reciprocity?

How will this decision by New Mexico effect the NM CHL holders?

The clerk I spoke with was somewhat reserved, but when queried, indicated that they had had quite a bit of "feedback".

I carry daily and at my hunting lease.

Im glad they restored Texas to their reciprocity agreements.

I've a trip to Capitan NM planned for August. I'd feel positively semi-dressed without a "persuader"

....one step back, then one step forward. I am glad to be back "in the fold" when in New Mexico.

Yup. I was glad to see Kansas come back. Our requirements are almost identical. I wonder if the State Attorney General is a Democrat? Just a question since I know Kansas has a republican Gov and a Democrat AG.

Jeff, I don't know about all states, but it really is reciprocal between Missouri and Kansas. When I asked one of the Missouri Highway Patrol officers in Mo about my Kansas license, he just said "Samey Same to us".

As I read the news over the last couple of days, and then the web page today, the reciprocity agreements are under review, but have not been canceled.

I know we lost Utah some time ago, and if I recall correctly it was based on the lack of a live fire requirement in Utah.

The rest are still intact but being reviewed.
