Congrats and stay safe. In general, get whatever gun you're comfortable with and will use. You have a carry permit with administrative restrictions placed on it by your local judge. More specificly, what is your intended use for this gun? A compact is great to carry for self defense but may not be all that comfortable spending a few hours at the range. If you're looking primarily for home defense, a standard frame may provide more options for lights etc. Only you can answer what's best for your intended use. Pardon my french, but f' what the county thinks. That should be the least of your concerns. Good luck.
