OK, OK, lookie here NM is, of course, part of this nation's great southwest community so here is something i just stumbled upon:
Concealed Carry Licenses
first, site is undated, but please note the first sentence ~ The Concealed Carry Unit is notifying all instructors of the recent repeal and replacement of Rule 10 .8.2 (sidebar: not sure of the term recent since the statute was updated in 2016!)
second, same site has a pdf of the DPS CHC act of 2003 material but is also undated so currency is in question. https://www.dps.nm.gov/templates/g5...icense/FILLABLE/NMAC CCW Booklet FILLABLE.pdf
third, same site has a pdf of the 2 hour CHC online refresher course. (sidebar: there is no guidance on the document's use etc.) https://www.dps.nm.gov/images//ConcealCarry/2-Year-PowerPoint-updates-as-of-19-December-2017-MF.pdf
to refresh everyone's memory, 10.8.2(A)(15) mandates a two hour refresher with an instructor led live-fire exercise with the caliber listed on the permit OR an online course! (sidebar: w/o reading pdf material, took the course and passed the 15 question assessment at the end, yes i missed 2 due to bad and confusing distractors for answers on an overall horribly written assessment!)
no information if this 5 minute exercise meets the spirit and intent of NM's DPS agency in lieu of an actual live-fire or meeting with a live instructor?
test cite: CCW 2-Year Refresher Course
knowledge is power make your own judgement as our congressional body is working toward national reciprocity.
