Other than that, what will you do if the New Mexico legislature passes a law requiring registration, confiscation, modification, or otherwise restricts or outlaws semi-autos, standard cap mags, or frankly, WHAT WE CALL FREEDOM firearms?
I know long term I would plan to blow this taco stand and move to Texas, but what about the short term?
Is there a way to fight such a law other than submitting it for a referendum of the voters (which might backfire)?
Even though several counties have declared themselves 2A Sanctuary counties, not all have. What if you live in one of the Commie gun-grabbing counties?
Although the 60-day session just ended, we maybe have a little less than a year before we might face these very questions head-on.
I have a vault at my office (Tx. Panhandle) and could store a few AR’s if folks were so inclined. I know lots of Californians stores stuff in Arizona and Nevada…
Having said that, what are the real options?
Get rid of your stuff
Move
Bury it, never shoot it, hope nobody finds it
Carry on like nothing has changed and take the risk of a criminal prosecution and conviction
I’ve got too much invested here, and family history of nearly 400 years. I will do nothing different except avoid and evade (which means non-compliance). I’ve got an address over in Dalhart, Texas which would allow me to receive contraband, but I am in good shape for guns, ammo, mags and assorted other accessories. Still filling some holes in handgun ammo but you would be shocked to see what a fully stocked ammo pantry looks like - floor to ceiling, with over 40,000 rounds of ammo. I buy in bulk since I am living over 70 miles (one-way) from the nearest gun store. Nothing gets shipped here so I go to the FedEx or UPS hub to pick stuff up.
I’ve been working this plan for many years and I am one who is not hurting for anything, except for some things I may want, but not needs.
More than one Land Grant - one from the 1750’s and another from the 1830’s and adjacent land. It was OK because this area of New Mexico was “No Man’s Land”. Too far away from the Rio Grande Valley and Civilization around Albuquerque (founded 1706) and Santa Fe. This was Comanche and Apache raiding territory. My family tried living out here in the late 1600’s but were run out. Came back in 1750 and made a stand, despite constant Native Raids.
You can see why I have a stiff backbone regarding packing up and moving. Too much family blood shed on this land, plus all the hard work, good times, bad times - Life.
Pics of family grave markers from the late 18th Century and ruins of the stone house (fort) from 1750:
Here’s another thing I don’t think anyone thought of. Tourism will take a good blow- at least in the North East part of the state… No more 3 Gun Competition at Whittington…No more High Power etc…When I run up to Whittington I have enough guns in the truck to outfit a platoon normally…
