Kind of a pisser... I live in Washington State, where the politicians pride
themselves in being as liberal as in California. (like they could think on
their own?) The big surprise is our firearm laws... Concealed carry, for
instance, we're a "must issue" state, where there's no tests, no
classes, nothing. If you apply for a CCW permit, you'll get it, pronto, by
law, unless of course you're a felon or something.

My kid lives in Idaho, where they have the finest hunting laws, and even
there, the CCW permits are harder to come by then here.

Anyway, Colt is a fine firearm, but OTOH, there's lots of good guns out
there that can also fill the spot of a true 1911. Sometimes, it's
impracticle to carry a full size gun. I have some Makarov's that fill this
bill pretty good. Mak is a great gun, between the 9P and a .380. My wife's
cz-83 is an excellent carry gun in .380, and we both have .32 pocket guns
as backups. I know that .32's are crapped on, but I'd rather have a mouse
gun than my fists at my age. :) Mine's a Kel Tec p-32, hers is a Beretta
Tomcat.

I'm rambling now, besides, in case the atf is listening, I sold them all at
the last gun show. :)
