Default why the no-BUG law?

I enjoy occasional trips to New Mexico, so I have familarized myself with your firearms laws. New Mexico is the only state (of which I am aware) that prohibits permit holders from carrying back up guns.

I have no problem with that since I rarely carry a BUG anyway, but I am interested in how this law came to be. If anyone knows, I would love to read the explanation. Thanks.

The wise and caring politicians of New Mexico suffer from entomophobia...

From what I understand, NM allows you to carry only one firearm "concealed". This being the case, you can OC your BUG.

Yes you can, but then you really aren't carrying concealed.

The point of this thread is to discover what rationale lies behind the law: what was the reason of the legislators for enacting it?
