If you are referring to an injunction for protection, it does not cost anything.  There is no filing fee.  You can go to the Clerk of Court Office and get a form/petition to file for the protective injunction.  You can complete it and file it while you're there.  A judge will review it right away -- and if, based on the alleged facts set forth in the completed petition, the judge determines that it satisfies the requirements for a protective injunction, the judge most likely will enter an order for a temporary protective injunction.  Otherwise, the judge will not enter the temporary injunction.  But, either way, the judge, also, will set a hearing at which the person against whom the injunction is being sought will have an opportunity to explain why the injunction should not be entered.  The petitioner (person seeking the injunction) will be allowed, at that hearing, to present evidence to show why the injunction is needed.   

First of all it is a third degree felony to carrying a concealed weapon without a license. A potential, but unlikely, 5 years in prison. However, if you are a felon, another crime can be charged for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and this is a 2nd degree or 15 year felony. Much depends upon the judge handling the case, and there is a 3 year minimum mandatory prison sentence. Hopefully, you will retain a private attorney and just get a few years of probation, and be restored to probation concerning the vop.
