ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Luke Saiz of Albuquerque, New Mexico, carries several firearms in his vehicle for personal safety, despite knowing he could face a stiff fine of up to $5,000 under a public health order by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

“Today, yeah, I carry a bunch of different ones,” Mr. Saiz said, sporting glasses, a long beard, and hair tucked under a camouflage cap while holstering a Glock 9 mm handgun by his waist.
