I also would like a club here in NM. The NRA is awesome on a national level and will help in each state- but to my knowledge the NRA hasn't said anything about any of the firearm legislation pending in NM.
Firearm Legislation:
HB 105 allowing firearms in more types of liquor establishments.
SB 507 removing the refresher course from law (no more refresher every 2 years)
HB 701 basically the castle law.
I think it's pretty imparative that we form a club here as many don't know how the process works, I'm no expert but I have a fair understanding and would be willing to put in some capital and lay some ground work (i've started and currently own a business) if anyone is interested please E-mail me Landavazoaj AT Yahoo or just reply here on the forum.
Just to give you guys some updates:
HB 105 (Law that would allow carry in more liquor establishments) passed the Business and Industry committee with 11 for 0 against and 1 "excused". It now must pass the
judiciary commitee, but since they passed the castle law I think it will go through.
SB 507 the bill that removes the 2 year refresher course for CCW applicants has passed the senate with 31 for 9 opposed. This bill is currently pending a vote from the
House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee. You can write members of the committe- you can also Call, or E-mail them.
HB 701 the castle law has not been voted on and is stuck in the
House Judicary Committee
