Hello everyone from the Lone Star state. Being a Texan, I can't open carry but I would very much like to experience it. I will be going to El Paso this weekend and I thought about driving the 45 minutes or so to Las Cruces, New Mexico. I'm going with my Kimber 1911 in a Serpa II with 2 extra mags.
Besides the stupid law that you can't open carry into any store that sells alcohol for on or off premesis consumption (gas station, grocery store, etc.) is there anything else I should look out for during my first OC experience in NM?
I mean obviously the places like courthouses,schools,govt buildings etc are off limits.
Anyone had any experience with open carry in Las Cruces?
Where are some good places to OC there? I'm probably just going tobe there for the afternoon.
Here's my carry rig if you're interested:
