Narrative:

When I selected the gear to down nothing happened. We executed a go-around and informed the tower about our gear problem and needed headings and altitudes to complete the appropriate checklist. The tower controller then asked if we were declaring an emergency and I responded in the affirmative. They gave us a climb to 3000 ft and gave us some turns that put us into a big right traffic pattern. I completed the emergency checklist; the gear came down without any problems. We landed without incident and were met by airport rescue and fire fighting and followed to the ramp by the fire chief.
