That's the only good thing about CA permits. They are valid statewide. So your permit issued from the police chief of the small rural city where you live is generally good throughout the state. This is, of course, subject to Fed or Muni restrictions.

Just before I got interested in carrying, any police chief or sherrif could issue to any resident of CA. This allowed you to go to a different jurisdiction if your local chief/sherrif was anti CCW. The politicians saw that a small number of chiefs/sherrifs were issuing a large number of permits and changed the law to state that only the chief/sherrif in your city/county can issue your permit.

This dried up the number of permits being issued and "made CA safer" and will prevent me from legally CCWing for the next couple years.
