The annual High Desert Gun Show, which serves as a major fundraising event for the High Desert Sportsmen’s Club, saw a steep decline in participating vendors this year over previous years, as well as lower overall attendance than last year. The event was held Saturday and Sunday at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center. Thanks to last year’s passage of the “Firearm Sale Background Check” bill by the New Mexico Legislature, firearm sales between individuals or at gun shows require a federal instant background check be completed at the time of the transaction, closing the so-called gun show loophole in the state.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
