I can't legally own a gun because I was arrested years ago. How do I get one without the police knowing?

If you cannot legally own a gun because of a past arrest, you may still be able to buy one through a private seller without your disqualifying arrest record showing up in a background check. Private sellers are not required to run a background check, so they can sell a gun to you without doing one. However, you must pass a background check when buying the gun from a licensed firearms dealer. You should be sure to research state and local gun laws before attempting to purchase a gun.
