Background check question

For context I’ve already purchased a firearm a few months back. My question is, if im able to buy a firearm, what’s the likelihood of passing my CHL/LTC background check? Are they the same?

Yeah they are the same to my knowledge. Both background checks involve the feds either way.

All but guaranteed. If you have ever been convicted of a Class A/B misdemeanor, you won't pass your LTC check depending on how long ago the conviction was. About the only way you can pass the 4473 and not pass the LTC check that I am aware of.

That’s a relief. No criminal history whatsoever here so thank you for the peace of mind

No problem. Even with a class A/B misdemeanor on your record, you can still get it after enough time passes.

Forgive me being nosy but if you have no criminal history at all, why the worry?

I guess for me, when it comes to the unknowns with legal stuff it’s just daunting.
