What would be the requirements? What kind of training would be needed? Just wondering how you would work this program. The vast majority of armed police officers can not shoot and you would expect something different from the average civilian. Those of us that are trainers and train and shoot competitively are in the minority of shooters.
The CCW permit from your home state should be treated the same way your driver's license is, recognized and honored by every state.
I still think that it is best left up to the states on what kind of training each State decides will be needed for issuance of a CCW for that's States citizens. Either good or indifferent training, it is not for the Federal Government to decide. Could even be a violation of State's Rights and no matter how I personally feel, the Fed's need to stay out of State's business.
Personally I feel that if you are going to carry you need to, at a minimum shoot at least quarterly under stress, so you will have some idea of how to react under a stressful situation. Otherwise you will make a really good target.
