This map will show you what states you can carry in if you have a California permit. Remember that you must abide by the laws of the state that you are in, and not the laws of the state that issued your permit. Make sure that you know and understand the laws of the state where you are carrying.

Also, some states require you to be a resident of the state which issued your permit in order to enjoy reciprocity rights in their state (Colorado, Michigan, Florida, New Hampshire, and South Carolina). If you have a non-resident permit those states will not honor your permit.
