Narrative:
On takeoff, the landing gear handle would not move past the off position to up. We were doing the abnormal checklist and the pilot on the jump seat noticed the landing gear latch and pressure warning circuit breaker was out. After the reset, the landing gear operation returned to normal, but the red unsafe light was out. I relamped the light. The landing gear was operating normally. After conferring with dispatch and maintenance we continued on our flight to houston, tx. No other problems with the landing gear were noted. The outcome was positive, however, after rethinking the event, I may have used an even safer option.
