Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday announced a new public health order that, she said, will ban people from carrying firearms, either open or concealed, in Albuquerque and throughout Bernalillo County for the next 30 days, regardless of whether they have a permit.
Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, issued an executive order Thursday evening declaring gun violence a public health emergency.
During a news conference Friday, she said she expects legal challenges to the public health order and expressed uncertainty about whether the order would prevail in court.
The order states "no person, other than a law enforcement officer or licensed security officer, shall possess a firearm ... either openly or concealed, with cities or counties averaging 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year since 2021."
The order applies only to the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, Lujan Grisham said, and can only be enforced by New Mexico State Police, whose presence in the state's largest city would be "significant" over the next month.
Violating the order would likely be a misdemeanor, Lujan Grisham said, and it will have no bearing on private property or at a licensed gun dealer.

Violating the Bill of Rights. The Bimbo needs to be removed from office and her administration sent to the unemployment line.
What the heck is that supposed to be? A chili penguin?
And vehicles, better ban those.
They’re violating constitutional rights and don’t have that authority.
There is a legal process to create new laws. It’s not executive whims.
Executive orders are becoming dictatorial commands.
That’s correct.
Whom they butcher with impunity.
I’ll bet she never considered banning abortion for 30 days because a baby died.
What stinking hypocrites.
So regular violence isn’t a public health concern? 🤣
No authority. NONE. Illegal and immoral edicts are to be ignored. And from a strictly practical standpoint, if you’re concealed, people don’t know anyway.
I don't know how, in soviet America, you think it's permissible to utter such wrong think. Report to gulag.
This moron believes she is the ultimate law. No she isn’t.

Now you know why I say that Hawaii never should have been a State.
She doesn’t have the Constitutional Authority to do so. The Mayor of Memphis thinks the same way. We carry concealed with baggy clothes. anyway, only a fool goes into Shelby County unarmed.
Only schools/fed property are off limits.
Depends on the Woman. I’ve CCW since 1996 and think all but non-criminals, and looney tunes, should carry too. After they get a basic training course in safe gun handling. I grew up around riffles as my dad and his brother hunted.

If there was ever any question whether NM was lost...
I don’t take it that negatively. The good news is the sheriff of this county came out and denounced this ‘edict’ right away, citing his ultimate allegiance to the constitution of New Mexico and the USA. There is also the circumstance that no court will uphold this to be thankful for.
It is disturbing that the governor of this state felt she could actually get away with this but we should not despair but study how we can turn it to our advantage.
New Mexico has lost its sense of porpoise.
