ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Despite three years of unsuccessful efforts, proponents of tighter gun sale requirements in New Mexico are trying again to require background checks for sales at gun shows.
Current state law does not require background checks for some gun sales at gun shows or in person-to-person sales elsewhere.
The bill would require checks only at gun shows on customers who have not obtained concealed carry permits, a process that requires a background check.
