New Mexico governor’s suspension of gun rights draws fire from police, Dems, gun control advocates – Washington Times
Within hours of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham s emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County, a federal lawsuit to block the ban was filed, state lawmakers called for her impeachment and even gun control activists rebuked her for violating the U.S. Constitution.
The governor made the bold move to suspend gun rights for 30 days in response to a wave of deadly shootings in the Albuquerque area, calling it a public health emergency.
The order applies to open and concealed carry of firearms in most public places, ranging from city sidewalks to urban recreational parks. The state has a long history of allowing open carry of handguns in most public settings.
