New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around the state’s largest city drew an immediate court challenge and also calls for her impeachment by Republicans in the legislature

New Mexico state Reps. Stefani Lord and John Block, both Republican, called for her impeachment after she issued the Sept. 8 order, which prohibits citizens from carrying guns in public in the Albuquerque area.
