Since most WM's sell Wine & Beer and probably some in NM also sell Liquor, they may be mistakenly be posting because it is a felony in NM to open carry in any place that sells liquor and also to carry in any manner where booze is sold for on premise consumption under certain conditions.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.

Looking at a Google map and at the Federal Lands map... I don't believe the land the WalMart is on is tribal... Possible, but believe not.

If I would have know those crime stats when we were deciding where to stop, I likely would have kept driving.
I certainly would not have gone to WalMart at 11:PM... :lol:
From the map, it appears that Gallup is not on reservation land. :thumbs2:
I was a bit surprised that Walmart would build on a reservation or that a reservation would let Walmart build on it.

I consider the term microaggression to be a macroaggression. So consider me offended.

My read of NM law is that carry is not prohibited if liquor/beer/wine sales are not for on premise consumption.
I'd be surprised if Walmart was not up to speed on the local law.

http://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/ ... tion30-7-3
See sections 4 & 4a

Interesting side note... according to 30-7-3 /4b, no carry in a restaurant that serves any liquor at all, and if the restaurant serves beer/wine, carry is prohibited by statute if beer/wine are 40% of sales or higher (compared to our 51%).

I share a similar heritage. Norwegian (paternal) grandmother, but Spanish (paternal) grandfather, and the rest a mix of various European nationalities. Don't get me started on the "White" Sox. As if it's not bad enough to mention race they have to equate us to a bunch of dirty socks? I need to go find a safe space.

I thought I read where it had to be at least 60% when looking around for their sign requirements earlier today or yesterday.

Minimum 60% food sales or more = ok for carry in a beer/wine licensed premise. So, maximum 39.999% beer/wine.
The language is a bit convoluted.

1) gonna get myself another necroposter award.....
2) photo of the sign on the Gallup Walmart. If you do the 'CTRL+' thing, it expands the image to where you can read the fine print at top; which I take to mean that with a permit, you CAN carry concealed there.

I like the way they tried to spell Exception at the top of the sign. :roll:

In all the trips I’ve made driving the I-40 route to CA and back - probably 8 or so round trips in the last 11 years - I’ve only stopped in Gallup for gas once. I usually try to plan for an ABQ gas stop. Gallup’s WM is 142 miles from ABQ. Flagstaff, where I often spend the night, is 325 miles from ABQ. If I’m not towing a trailer, my 4Runner has about a 400 mile range on the highway. So I can usually gas up in Flag and make it on one tank to ABQ, or visa versa.

This is New Mexico's version of Texas' Blue Sign. Carry away with a permit. No permit, no carry. The advantage of having a permit vs. permit-less carry.

It said "No Firearms Allowed on these Premises"...
Such signs have the force of law in NM.

Which is why our 30.06 and 30.07 signs in Texas is SO appreciated by me.

Nope. Zoom in and read fine print at top. Permit holder is allowed.
