While that wouldn't help with CCW issuance within california, it would still be a great help (and relief!) to over 4 million americans with CCW permits, who are currently navigating a confusing and inconsistent patchwork of laws just to drive across state lines.
Then, you get into the "what is traveling?" question. If I leave home and drive to New York, and stop in Nevada for one night along the way, it's pretty safe to say I'm traveling through Nevada. However, if I get to New York, get a six month lease on a flat there and stay downtown and play tourist for six months, am I still traveling? What about if I stay in a hotel for those six months? Where do we draw the line between what is travel and what is not?
