A decent revolver and pistol license so you 'can slip it into your backpack' and carry it around are probably going to run $500 to $700 even if your state has no training requirements.
Not to mention, between now and your 21st birthday you are likely to see it stolen, early adulthood is pretty hard on possessions for most guys. Unless you are putting yourself in bad situations, associating with drug users or felons, that kind of thing, you're not going to get in trouble requiring armed self-defense. Put a few buck aside each paycheck when you get an income, for this kind of purchase.
I know preppers are concerned with the impending societal collapse and general zombie apocalyptic doom that requires Ramboesque arsenals and cases of ammo stacked to the ceiling, but the first thing you need to realize is that you're going to know about the zombies and Free Stuff Army before they show up, and you can engage your enemy at a distance, and a rifle is what you need to do that.
