"Good luck with places like California. They don’t currently recognize ANY other state’s CCW permits"

And because of this no other state recognizes cali CCWs either.

I am afraid that you have been misinformed. A great many other states recognize the California CCW permit.

According to this site, there are about 20 states that recognize the California permit:

Actually that’s not quite true. I have a close friend who has a California CCW permit who has recently obtained a Utah CCW permit even though he isn’t a resident of Utah. The reason for so doing, is that he travels extensively and the Utah CCW is recognized in almost all states that currently allow CCW. So at least Utah will issue a CCW to a CA CCW permitee.
