I posses a non-resident Utah permit and my home state Wisconsin resident permit. WI does not offer non-resident licenses. I keep both for the fact that I cannot carry with the WI in certain states that I can with the Utah. I sat thru an 8 hour course and did 30 minutes of range time in addition to the fingerprinting, photo, and background checks to get the Utah. WI is much less, only requiring some sort of professional training course. If you travel, keep track of which states have reciprocity with your ccw's. Make a map or cheat sheet showing where you need to pack the firearm away and where it can carry and how it can be carried. Luck.
