Word to the wise pedes in NM -- shopping in the late afternoon (6:30PM-9:00) typically results in much shorter waits. Picking out the oddball, out of the way stores (Or stores in nearby, smaller towns where possible) also helps.
I feel worse for some of the more rural towns being put under siege. From what I've heard, Roswell has no grocery stores open, and NM state police are making sure the closed ones follow the embargo.
It's nice to look at the state constitution and see that she doesn't have authority.
But then our supreme court ignores it, delays until lockdowns are partially lifted and moots cases, enforces the illegally levied fines, and generally supports her. I don't think the 10th circuit has allowed any cases incorrectly decided by the partisan NMSC to proceed.
Welcome to NM, run by Democrats since we became a territory, and as corrupt as any state could ever be.
They've shut down stores for entire towns at this point. It's similar to what Cuomo did with the subways, but on a larger scale, and with supply involved. NM isn't like a lot of other states -- there's not cities dotted all over the place, it's often 30-40 minutes to the nearest grocery, and an hour or two to get to the next closest. That's not a minor incovenience, that turns into an entire day long trip real fast considering the lines our gracious governor is forcing on us now. Many people here can't afford that.
In Albuquerque, the largest three Walmarts are now closed down until December, which means more people in fewer stores. The closings will accelerate, meaning there's likely to be a point that all of the stores will be closed. It's not unreasonable to point out completely counterproductive and harmful policies like this, and the expected outcomes.
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the national Election Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
1) Respect the votes of others.
2) Think before you vote.
3) With great power comes great responsibility.

That's what I've been doing, but the range is a 25 minute drive, and BLM is around 45 plus finding a good spot that's not already taken.
Do love our open carry laws though, did it for 4-5 years while waiting to get a CCW permit.
It always depends on where you're at -- if you can run a 10k, but can't drag your best friend, you need weights. If you can't get a mile, but can pick your two friends up and walk around with them, you need cardio. Cardio should probably be first priority, though, I agree on that.
Ideally, you should be able to lift to carry gear, and get in shape to move it more quickly.
Sage advice, pede, just thought I'd add:
If your ranges are closed, do some dry fire practice.
If you have access to weights, do some lifting.
Reach out to friends and family, try to stay involved, or get involved with things together.
A slightly better proposal: they can have LA, SF, Portland, and Seattle. All docks still belong to the US but they can rent them for an exorbitant fee. Passport and visa required to enter the US. 2000% tariff on anything that goes through US territory.
If there's no evidence an election happened, I strongly encourage states to reclaim all money paid to vote-counting companies by force. If they can't provide an audit trail, they didn't deliver any services, now did they?
