TL;DR

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry guns in public across Albuquerque and Bernalillo County for at least 30 days, citing recent instances of gun violence. The order, which faces potential legal challenges, applies to open and concealed carry in most public places and excludes police and licensed security guards. Violators could face civil penalties and a fine of up to $5,000. The governor's action comes in response to recent shootings, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a baseball stadium. Some law enforcement officials have expressed concerns about the order's impact on constitutional rights.
