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.

That's going to depend on what the laws in your state are.

Handguns tend to be a different matter. Some states have waiting periods. Others may have a permit system (which is effectively a waiting period, as well). There really isn't much you can do about that.
