Narrative:

After landing gear lowered, left main gear did not have green light. Did missed approach, ran all abnormal and emergency checklists. Check in cabin visual port to see if gear was down. Confirmed right main gear down, but couldn't confirm left gear down. Did fly by tower and aircraft on taxiway, both confirming gear down. Declared emergency and prepared passenger for emergency landing. Landed normally on runway. Stopped on runway, had gear pinned and aircraft toward to gate.
