There are cheaper ways to get a CCW than $400.00. I spent $321.97 including 100 rounds of 9MM needed in course. I spent $135.00 on a special sale price offer at Marino's Tactical Solutions DECCW course. I spent $65.00 to file application, $69.00 SBI criminal background and prints, $30.00 Dover Post Ad, $22.97 for 100 rounds of ammo. That's $299.00 not counting ammo. This was just over 3 years ago.
Guys at Marino were great.
