Dr. Rob, don't hold your breath waiting for a statewide CCW in Colorado. Gov. Owens is turning out to be a bit of a political animal (you know, a finger-in-the-wind sort of guy) and not the pricipled leader I had hoped for. It's still early in his first term (1 yr.), and maybe he'll change for the better, but I have my doubts. Politicians in this country are still letting the liberal left (not that I am a big fan of much of the right) set the agenda and run the show, even when the libs. aren't in power. That's where a strong belief in one's principles come in, and we ain't really seeing that from the compromising right.
Enough time on the soapbox. Right now, when I do carry, the Makarov is my weapon of choice, mainly because my holster hasn't arrived yet for my S&W 642. Next year, I hope it's early next year, I plan on buying a Kahr MK40 and carrying that when it's appropriate.

P.S. I am lucky to live in El Paso county, where the Sheriff, John Anderson, has a liberal (isn't it funny how that word used to stand for individual freedom?) CCW policy.

Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in every high school.
