I think the biggest concern with national reciprocity is the fact that different states have different guidelines for obtaining permits. Some are more leniant than others. Here in PA where I live, it's as simple as going to the County Sheriff's Office (or Chief Of Police in Philadelphia), filling out the form, showing two forms of ID, paying the $19 fee, and coming back in a couple weeks after the background check clears to have my photo taken and permit issued.
As far as restrictions on carry/prohibitions, that's something that anyone can and SHOULD be going to packing.org for.
I just checked there for Florida's processes for obtaining a non-resident permit there, as I'm considering obtaining one since so many states accept them and would allow me to travel with it more. They require a training course and fingerprints, and background checks there can take up to 90 days (I think longer still for non-residents - up to 6 months because they handle such a large request for Non-Resident Permits).
I too, would like to see some sort of National CCW Reciprocity, as it's already in force for LEOs and is considered "obvious legislative intent". However, I think before that happens, there has to be some type of nationwide minimum standards for obtaining that permit.
I personally, would not have a problem here in PA with a training requirement. I've been trained and can demonstate both proficiency and safety with my guns. However, unfortunately, I do go to the range and see some people, both young and old, from all different backgrounds, who probably should not have a gun, much less a permit to carry it.
As always, just my $.02
