It depends on what state you live in. I live in Indiana and the majority of the process is done online now. It took me 21 days from filing online to permit in hand, but I could have cut 9 days off of that had I payed online instead of mailing in my payment. However I know that about a year ago, maybe a little more, my dad filed for his. All of it was on paper, in person. It took him about 3 months from filing to permit in hand. So it really depends on where you live and how updated their process is for applying.
EDIT: It takes no training to apply for a permit in Indiana, and my application went through so fast because I have no criminal record. If you have any sort of a record it will without a doubt slow down the process. Even misdemeanors, simply because the police have to look over each offense and ensure there is no reason that would disqualify you for a permit.
