I am a resident of Iowa and plan to be traveling to New Mexico after the first of the year and had a question about their carry law.
In my research I know that I can't conceal\open carry in NM even with my Iowa permit but it appears that I can have my pistol loaded and within easy reach in my car. I am not clear on how to legally move the gun from my car to where I am staying. Is it ok to just case it? Do I have to unload it then case it? Does the case need to be locked?
Thanks for your input.
