Hi Daniel,
Good news are, permanent resident in Lithuania can apply for gun permit and would have same rights as Lithuanian citizens. But, I'm afraid, this is where good news ends. To get gun permit (which could include a concealed carry permit) you need to pass the same procedure as everyone else: you would need to finish gun owner courses ans pass the exam. Which is in Lithuanian. In the past it was possible to have a translator to help you with the exam, but with resent changes I'm not sure if it is still possible. Maybe it is, I just don't know.
Regarding bringing your guns with you, AFAIK there is no legal procedure to do it (maybe I wrong on this one). Except getting an import permit, as if you purchasing a new gun. It will require export papers from country of export, with serial numbers of the weapons and price. After that you can apply for import license in Lithuania, pay taxes and other fees. It is not very simple, but can be done.
While for self defense handgun permit you can apply being only a permanent resident, for rifle is a different story. You need to be a member of sport organization (IPSC will do), and to keep your license (you have to prolong guns permit every 5 years) - you need to be an active member (e. g., participate in competitions).
Safe requirements are not very strict: it must be able to hold all your weapons, have an internal lock and walls need to be at least 3 mm thick. If it weights less than 150 kg (I think), it need to be bolted to the wall.
All your guns are legal in Lithuania (actually, some stuff that is prohibited in California is legal in Lithuania), but as I told above, to import them in Lithuania would require some efforts.
PS I'm not an attorney, so there is nothing I could do for you except some advice on the forum.
