What does LEOSA give them aside from nationwide recognition of the trust their own state has in them?
Exactly! A national right-to-carry reciprocity bill could address this using much the same concept. If you have met the requirements of your state for concealed carry, then travel should not alter this trust, or your rights to defend yourself.
There may be some details to work out, to be sure. I seem to remember a problem many years ago about neighboring states recognizing so-called "farm licenses" that young drivers were issued in states like, for example, Texas. They were underage in neighboring states, which had no similar license, and the neighboring states didn't like the situation.
So, I can see states which require an exam and proof of competency shoot looking askance at states such as Washington, which have no requirements other than a thorough background check.
Nevertheless, I think it's a good idea. If it can be considered as mundane as having a driver's license, maybe some of the paranoia about concealed pistols will begin to diminish. One can always hope.
