by the way for those good people who do decided to get a license. The colt .45 is one miserable firearm to carry. It is big heavy and just a miserable gun to conceal. Look at a glock 23 40 caliber or even a sig .380   perfect. I guess that is why the FBI uses the model 23 glock. That is what I use for the twice a year I carry since I sold my custom .45 colt. In the mountains then it is a .44 mag for bears
