>You did not give full details.
I did; I gave you the portion of the State Constitution as well as a link to the state statute.
>I am not an expert on NM laws but it appears that if you were walking down the sidewalk on campus not IAW the listed exceptions, NM law would consider you a criminal, you would probably be stopped and depending on the officer escorted off campus or arrested.
Why? The text of 30=7=2.4 notwithstanding, the state Constitution says “No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense [...]” Or is there something mystical that makes basic logic and reading comprehension inapplicable?
The phrase “NO LAW,” in a sentence that has no exceptions, is absolute, correct? Or, are you advocating the position that just because a great many people believe a lie that makes the lie true?
>Then you could go to court and possibly take it to the state supreme court to decide if the law is constitutional.
I’m very tempted to do so.
No. You didn't say if you were in your car or out of your car. You didn't say if you were involved in a university or military approved function. But I filled in the blanks as I thought you would have. By the last sentence (I am tempted to do so) it could mean that you have been charged or are considering giving cause to be arrested to challenge the law in court. Whichever, I am sure that there are several state or local gun groups that have positions on these issues and can give you advice and/or support. These types of 'laws' have recently been under assault in many states though out the country and I would be supprised if NM was an exception.
Why?
Because campus policeman are instructed to enforce the laws, not decide whether the law is constitutional.
No. I am advocating that if a law is on the books, be prepared to suffer the consequences if you violate the law.
