Most states do not require a permit to purchase a firearm. However, ALL states require that you have a background check when you purchase a firearm from a dealer. This has been Federal law for several years (and yes, it DOES include a purchase at a gun show, no matter what you may have read).
Having said that, if you cannot pass a background check, it is illegal for you to possess a firearm in any state. The penalty for that starts at 5 years in a Federal prison, no probation, no parole, and the food sucks. Think about that.

In Tennessee, for instance, they check for felonies, misdemeanors involving domestic violence, and DUI arrests for the last 5 years.
