There is a class, range test and a long vetting process to get concealed carry. Worth it.

Lots with criminal records and mental issues will get rejected.
Before you go out and buy a Bodyguard or any .380, be aware that .380 ammunition costs about 50% more than 9mm. The S&W 9mm Shield is not much bigger than the Bodyguard, costs a fraction more and is easily concealed. The cost of ammo for a few range sessions will more than make up for the difference in price.

Also, the 9mm packs a bit more punch. If you ever actually have to defend yourself, a .380 may not take down a large bad guy.
