in a very general sense, you can't check on it. However, in general, if you don't have any felonies, misdemeanors, and are at least 21 years old, you are elligible in most states, and by federal law. Basically, you go into a gun shop and try to buy a gun. They run a background check on you, and if you pass, you can buy the gun. A few states have specific state requirements. For example, if you live in Illinois, you must first obtain a FOID (Firearm Owner ID) card from the state. Probably the best place to start is to go into a reputable local gun shop and ask someone there.
