New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has decided to revise her emergency health order, which initially suspended all forms of gun carry in the state’s largest city, after facing multiple legal challenges.

Ms. Grisham initially placed a 30-day ban on open and concealed firearms in crime-ridden Albuquerque, New Mexico, and surrounding Bernalillo County as part of a public health emergency over “gun violence.”
