People who want to legally carry concealed weapons in New Mexico will still have to go through a 15 hour firearms training course, pass a background check and get a permit.

A state Senate committee on Friday effectively killed a bill that would have allowed people 18 or older to carry a loaded concealed handgun without a license, provided that the person is not prohibited by law or court order from possessing or carrying a firearm.

In a party line vote, the Senate Public Affairs Committee tabled the bill by Sen. Steve Neville, R-Aztec. Democrats on the committee didn't like the idea of junking the training requirements or the background check for applicants. Others objected to the bill applying to those as young as 18. The minimum age for obtaining a concealed-carry permit in New Mexico is 21.
