It depends on your state.
In Texas it appears that the 10 hour two day class costs around $175. Then the application is $75 and the fingerprint check is $35.
You can buy a cheap unreliable gun for less than $100 or a major maker handgun for as little as $350.
Despite what all the gun nuts say in my experience having a gun will not help you fend off bad guys unless you count the fact that having one sometimes makes you walk with more confidence. Walking with confidence and awareness prevents most attacks.
I have handled at least 5 times more cases where the victim has had their weapon taken away from them by the bad guys than I have handled where the victim was able to fend off the bad guys with their weapon. It is true that many who fend off do not report (thus lowering police protection since there is not reported crime in the area) but I do not believe that the encumber is that great.
it depends completely on where you live…
ccw’s are usually done on a town by town basis..depending on state laws. some states are very strict, some don’t even require a license to carry.
you need to go on your state/city gov sites and see what the local gun regulations are.

It depends on the state where you live. For example, in Indiana it cost $50 for the county to fingerprint you and file the application and another $75 for the state. There is no firearm class (which I would favor) and then it takes like 45 days for approval and to receive your cc permit or be denied. Other states have different policy’s and procedures. You might not need any paperwork to purchase a hand gun so you can practice while you wait for a permit. I recommend that you buy one and practice shooting it and remember it is a big responsibility.
A hand gun can cost anywhere between $250- $1500 depending on what make and model you want, go to a local gun store and find one that fit’s your hand and feels comfortable, the bigger the caliber the more "kick" it will have but a heavier hand gun will also kick less. Good luck
