Good luck! Work quickly, it isn’t hard here in rural New York to get one, it just takes time to get your application through the process. As long as a gun ban isn’t in Obama’s first 100 days agenda, I should be fine.
Then, get a permit in a state with reciprocity (if CA is anything like NY, no states honor their permits) and you can carry in any state that honors theirs. Florida and Utah are the two biggest CCW permits with reciprocity, I was told.
