If you’re carrying concealed, the mag well has to be empty? Do you also have to have the slide locked back?
“Gimme your money!”
“Please excuse me while I load my Colt.”
What if you carry a revolver?
I’m not recommending it as a preferred way to carry a firearm, my friend. I was merely stating the ways a firearm can be carried legally in New Mexico. I do know a man who successfully defended himself while carrying a firearm exactly as you mentioned, slide back, pistol in right pocket and clip in left. If you are practiced at it, you can produce a loaded weapon just about as fast as most people can competently handle a firearm, much faster than a woman who carries in her purse. Still, I don’t recommend it.
