That’s a grey area. I know people who have been convicted of felonies but passed the background check fine, and then other times they’ve been denied. As long as you are not lying on the form for the background check, and have not had any felonies you will generally be fine. I think one of the questions on the form ask if there’s anything pending trial. Sometimes they do delay the background check (usually it’s instant) up to three days. This may be for questionable stuff they find, or someone has a similar name as yours (which yours is quite common) or they simply have to take a shit and don’t want to do your check immediately lol. On the form, it asks for your Social Security Number (SSN), but it says it is optional. To get the background check finished quickly, put in your SSN to be safe. It’ll prevent them from getting you confused with someone else if that does come up. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-do-i-buy-guns-online/264612)._
