 Senate Bill 114 (SB 114) relates to firearms and allows for the concealed carry of a firearm in restaurants that serve spirituous liquors and cider.   

 Senate Bill 114 (SB 114) amends Section 30-7-3 NMSA 1978, by amending the exceptions to the crime of unlawful carrying of a firearm in a licensed liquor establishment.  The bill provides that a person may carry a concealed handgun (who has a valid concealed handgun license) into a restaurant that sells spirituous liquors and cider.   

 Currently, a person may carry a concealed handgun into a restaurant that sells only beer or wine.
