NM: Are New Mexico Gun Bans at Rest Areas Legal?

When you only have 6 shots to work with, you tend to make them count. The high cap semi allows one to lay down suppressive fire however which is known to be useful in combat.

This was long before M9’s or Glocks were even thought of. Yes, shot placement was much more critical with 6 or 7 shots

Did a bureaucrat just use one state's sign as a template for the other? Are there other states that have signs banning guns in rest areas?

Could well be that the sign manufacturers used the general layout of the first such sign ordered by one state as a template for later orders from other governmental customers. Slight changes in the wording of state statutes and the like would be necessary, of course, but you'd be surprised at how common that practice is among government equipment suppliers.
