In Nevada it can be done in a week, 

In CA, i was told from a good friend that this can take over a year,  

Would be easier to move to NV or AZ or UT  

Mine took 18 months, so ya... it takes a while lol.

I'm not a gun fanatic, but I realize that we live in a crazy world and I just started the paper work to get my CCW in CA.  I have a vacation home in a county that (I think) will make it feasible to get a CCW (we'll see).  Is there reciprocity if you go to other states?  Anyone else here gone down this path?  Thoughts on a CCW?  IDK if I will carry every day, but my wife and I do some hiking in remote areas and I will definitely carry in those scenarios.  My goal is to have it, but hope to never have to use it.......I'm actually saddened that the country has digressed into a state that I feel that it is necessary for personal protection.......   😞

You may have to justify using a vacation home address on a ccw.  They will most likely require you to use your primary residence.  Other than that the process is rather simple and the worst part is the wait.
