Just saw this thread and thought I would chime in here.
I know that it doesn't really have any bearing on the OP's situation but the private transfer background check law that was enacted here in New Mexico is NOT being enforced by ANY law enforcement agency in the state! As it is right now, no one has any idea how to even go about enforcing it and no one is even making any attempt to do so. That B.S. law was passed by the state legislature as feel good legislation to make the dumbazzed liberals of this state feel all warm and fuzzy so they will continue to vote for their favorite democrat at the next election. NONE of those politicians had a plan for enforcing it and for the most part weren't concerned that it's not even enforceable. They did exactly what they set out to do, make their constituency happy so they keep getting the votes!
Oh, and by the way, at least 30 of our 33 Sheriffs refuse to enforce it!
