Well, this answer takes a slight clarification. The "gun permit background check" is just a basic criminal background check, basically the same as you get any other time you need a criminal background check. What shows up is your criminal record. Typically, they look for felonies and disqualifying misdemeanors. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules and conditions for gun permit approval, so what they look for depends on the state. In Tennessee, for instance, they check for felonies, misdemeanors involving domestic violence, and DUI arrests for the last 5 years.

Probably. Most background checks include such things as criminal history and warrants are a matter of public record.
Background checks do not involve statute of limitations. They can run a check at any time, and crimes will always show up.
It depends on what you mean. In Tennessee, and probably most other states, nothing "shows up" to the gun dealer. The system simply approves or denies the sale and gives no other information. Additional answer: what the law enforcement agency looks for is criminal activity, felonies or certain misdemeanors.
The record of arrest shows up on a background check even if the case has been dismissed. Unless the arrestee takes positive action to seek to have the record expunged or sealed the record of the arrest remains and is available to the public.
yes they do . i had background check and one charge i had came up that was dismissed.
Petty misdemeanors may show up on background checks, depending on the scope and thoroughness of the check conducted by the organization or individual. Some background checks may only report more serious offenses, while others may include all levels of offenses. It is important to disclose accurate information if asked about misdemeanors on a background check.
It depends on the type of background check being conducted. Some background checks only go back a certain number of years, typically 7-10 years. However, certain checks, such as FBI background checks, may show an offense regardless of how long ago it occurred.
Yes, pending misdemeanor charges can show up on background checks. The extent to which they may appear can vary based on the depth of the background check conducted and the specific policies of the entity requesting the check.
yes a friend of mine got fired for two pending felonies on his background.
