Is this correct? Am I to believe that only those who rub elbow with politicians or the wealthy are the only ones that have the RIGHT to protect themselves? I am interested in the CCW because I travel home to CA from time to time. I want to try to get the Oregon CCW permit if possible as well. I looked through the threads but did not see any information for Solano County. Does anyone have any information? Thanks.

Oregon should be a little easier since the issue to neighboring states, the only downside is you physically have to go there to apply. (also look into a Utah permit, since being military, you may travel around)
CA, as I've learned, is interesting in its own ways. It's limited by what the Sheriff or PD of that county or area says. Some are easier, Orange County, and others are extremely difficult, San Fran. If your county is CCW friendly, you may have a chance.
Also, since your legal residency is actually here in CA (versus WA), I actually don't know how that works with the application (since residency for CCW purposes here in Cali is based on actually physically living here, correct me if I'm wrong someone). I'm sure someone will chime in.
YMMV
