Can you find out when background checks were done when you bought a gun?

Any time you purchase a firearm from a dealer, Federal law requires that the dealer must run a background check at that time. The exception is that certain states issue a concealed weapons license that ALSO requires a background check- proof of licensing takes the place of a background check. So if you bought a gun from a dealer, you have had a background check made.


Can you get in trouble from a background check?

I only time I would imagine someone getting in trouble from a background check is if they lied about something in their application, or to someone, and then their background check would say otherwise. Or if a person has any outstanding arrest warrants found on their background check report, and then the authorities are called to arrest him/her.

Can you leave the state before you serve time in jail for example you are sentenced to 180 days in jail your supposed to do time on the 25th can you leave the state and come back on the 23rd?

You had better check to see if you have any travel restrictions imposed on you. It could be seen as an effort to flee to avoid your sentence. That being said, if you do not have travel restrictions on you, as long as you report in to jail on the proper date, you should be okay.
