Trying to explain the facts of reciprocity at night by the side of the road is not my idea of a good time. It's a lot easier to pull out a permit issued by the state in which you are standing. Yes, it will cost some money, but it would probably be cheap compared to a night in jail.

I got a non-resident permit because of the training issue. I've taken several NRA LE courses my latest in May. My qualifications are much more demanding than that of a CCW in my state, my qualifications also cost around $200. I did not feel it right to pay an additional $200 for the CCW training + $150 in state fees, fingerprints, photographs etc.
The other state Honored my NRA L.E courses and I just had to pay the state fees, fingerprints, etc. instead of $200 for a course that would take 16hrs of my time, and 25 rounds of my ammo to learn things I had already learned, and demonstrated competency several times over.
As far as explaining reciprocity, I don't think you'll have much of a problem. I carry the statute inside my glove box, I doubt you'd spend a night in jail. It would probably be a citation and figured out in court. Up to you, but I went with a non-resident permit from a different state.

New York, New Jersey, and Maryland do not honor any out-of-state permits. New York issues to residents only. Maryland's non-resident permit is very difficult to get, and New Jersey's is expensive, up to a year's pay in a decent job (bring cash, too).
If you have Pennsylvania, Utah, and Florida, you are good in 35 states, but any others you have to get one at a time. Forget Hawaii, California, South Carolina (unless you own land there), and of course Illinois and Wisconsin. You might get Iowa, Connecticut, and Rhode Island if you get a little help from somebody who knows the system.
If you want them, non-resident permits from Maine, Oregon, and Nevada are not too hard to get. I'm not sure about Massachusetts, but I suspect it's very difficult.
Of course, reciprocity agreements change frequently.
