Can I carry in New Mexico with a Massachusetts license?

Yes. Yes — the licenses from our 39 State Multi License Course are honoured in New Mexico.
The detail

What New Mexico honours.

  • Multi course licenses: honoured. The six licenses the 39 State Multi License Course qualifies you to apply for (MA, ME, NH, CT, PA, FL) include at least one that New Mexico recognises — so after you apply for those licenses, you can carry here.
  • A Massachusetts LTC on its own is recognised by far fewer states than the six-license bundle. If you only hold a MA LTC, confirm New Mexico's current position with New Mexico's licensing authority before you travel.
  • Reciprocity changes. This page reflects the map we teach from and is reviewed regularly; the state's own published list is the final word.
Applying is your step. Each state license is applied for separately with that state's authority. The class is the training all six require first.

The maths

Six states' course requirements, in one visit, for $349 — instead of $1,249+.

Does the Multi course give me a New Mexico license?
It qualifies you to apply for six licenses (MA, ME, NH, CT, PA, FL); New Mexico honours at least one of them by reciprocity, so once you hold that license you can carry in New Mexico.
Do I need to live in Massachusetts to take the class?
No. Many students drive in from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and beyond for the six-license bundle. Non-residents apply for the MA license through the Firearms Records Bureau.
How long is the class?
Four to five hours, for both the Basic and the 39 State Multi. One visit either way, live fire included — about the same four to five hours, for five more states of law.
