Background Checks

Background Checks are used for everything from employment to rental housing (Senior Citizens; Assisted Living; Section 8 Housing). A Background Check typically includes Social Security Number, Citizenship Status, criminal, commercial, and financial records and range from minimal sensitivity (such as employment for a minimum wage job) to high (such as a job related to the FBI or National Security). It may include property and driving records, drug testing, evaluations for Medical, Mental, and Physiological examinations, polygraphs and arrests/ imprisonment. Typically, a person cannot refuse a Background Check unless you wish to forfeit what you desire, e.g. that housing, that employment. Reasons for BCs include to verify personal information, personal honesty and integrity, exclude drug users, and general risk management.

Usually no, but sometimes you can petition to have something removed.

Additional: Check the law in your state re: having your record expunged. It will apply only to state charges - and will not apply to any federal charges. There is no such thing as a 'blanket' expungement of your entire record. Usually you will (if qualified) only be able to have one expungement per lifetime. Depending on the state you live in, the victim of your offense and/or the prosecutor may have the option of objecting to your request. YOU will have to check your own state's laws for more particulars. I strongly suggest that you consult with an attorney, this is NOT a do-it-yourself project. Further: If your expungement is successful it will only seal your records to the general public. The courts, law enforcement and government agencies will still be able to access it for their use.

Is passing a background check enough in order to purchase a gun?

Uncertain what you are asking. In order to purchase a firearm from a dealer in the US, you will need 2 pieces of ID, have your age and address verified, and complete a questionaire (form 4473) AND have a background check performed. That is conducted by a law enforcement agency, and verifies that you do not have a criminal history that blocks you from owning firearms, that you have not been adjudged mentally incompetent, etc. In addition, some states may require that you have a Firearm Owner's ID Card. Some states mandate a waiting period before you can pick up the gun from the dealer.
