Hopefully not a bellwether, HandgunLaw.us reports that New Mexico has just dropped concealed carry permit reciprocity with Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia from the list of states they honor. Presumably, this is because of differences in testing standards for permit holders. New Mexico will now only honor CCWs from five states: Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota and Oklahoma. The last thing we need is “trade war” on CCW permits!
