federal judge on Wednesday blocked part of New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michele Lujan Grisham’s public health order suspending the carrying of firearms in public in Albuquerque.
U.S. District Judge David Urias issued the ruling, per the Associated Press. The governor issued the order on Friday in the wake of the shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a baseball stadium.
Lujan Grisham’s order prompted a bevy of legal challenges from gun rights groups and even drew calls for her impeachment.
