I seriously doubt it, California does not recognize CCW permits from any other state for their intended use.

Nope. They want their $25...

A retard can take the test and pass it without studying.

As far as exemptions I believe the only ones are:
-Active Military
-LEO
-POST level II
-PC832

There's a bunch actually. FFL holders are, obviously, exempt. Retired Military and LEO. Uniformed security guards (with guard card), CA CCW holder, etc....

A CCW from another state, however, is unacceptable.
