After a spate of gun violence in New Mexico that resulted in the deaths of 3 children (13-year-old, 5-year-old, and an 11-year-old), New Mexico governor Lujan Grisham wrote an executive order to suspend concealed and open carry rights in the county where the city of Albuquerque is located. Residents who were caught carrying firearms in public would be subject to a hefty fine.
This was challenged in Federal Court by the organization Gun Owners of America, and U.S. District Judge David Urias blocked the order. The New Mexico Attorney general refused to defend the law and the Bernadillo county sheriff refused to enforce it.
