1. California is "may-issue", not shall-issue. Applications require a statement for "good cause", which does
not include things like "lawful self-defense" or being physically disabled. What
might pass muster is if you transport large amounts of cash in the course of business or you carry valuable items around town.
2. California does not recognize permits from any other states.
3. If you will be working with the DEA, find out what level of background/security clearance they will do on you. Any kind of employment record for government L.E. service, especially a "security vetted" one is likely to help you.

For now you would be risking a misdemeanor charge for unlicensed concealed carry in California, unless of course you use it in a crime, then it's a felony.

Worse... if the gun is not registered in the CAL-DOJ database and is carried illegally, it is a
prima facie felony charge.
