    Background check for what? Work at a day care? A state license as a plumber? To purchase explosives?

    What information do you want to confirm or deny?

    Background checks are always done for transfers from an FFL. For transfers between residents of the same state who are not FFLs, the states can decide the law. In PA it's legal to transfer a long gun without going through an FFL (and hence doing the check), but handguns must go through an FFL.
