My wife and I are going to be traveling from Texas to Albuquerque, New Mexico for a vacation in a couple weeks. We will be traveling between Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos over the course of several days, and I plan on bringing my CCW along on the trip. While I have my Texas CHL and CC'ed for a few years now, I am, for all intents and purposes, a virgin when it comes to air travel with a CCW and CCW carry in New Mexico. Since it will be my first time flying with a CCW, I'm not sure what to expect as far as delays associated with checking the firearm, etc. I will say that I will be keeping my CCW unloaded and secured in a Nanovault in my checked baggage. Are there any tips that you folks can give me regarding NM CCW laws or things to be wary of? Can I fly with extra mags secured in my Nanovault with my unloaded CCW? Do the mags have to be in the Nanovault or can they just be kept in my checked bag? Is it more difficult to fly with full size guns rather than a pocket gun (I can carry my BG380 instead of the PX4, but I would prefer the higher caliber/capacity weapon)? I have learned that my full size PX4 will travel in my Nanovault with two 17rd. mags perfectly. I will call the airline if needed, but tell me that I can check my luggage on the plane that way. Additionally, we are spending a couple nights at a casino located in a pueblo. I have already contacted the pueblo police about protocols for CCWs. I was told that I could keep it secured in my vehicle during the stay, but if I didn't keep it in the vehicle (if I felt that it wasn't fully secure, risk of being stolen, etc.), I would have to turn the gun over to the pueblo police for the duration of our stay, since CCWs are not permitted outside of vehicles in the pueblo. All of the posts and online documents I can find about NM CCW carry are from several years ago, and I really don't want to unknowingly violate the carry laws. TIA for the help.
