Is there a way to find out if you will pass a background check?

The next-door neighbors kid got in some trouble right out of high school, now 15 years later and changing his ways he asked me if there was a way to find out if he was eligible to own a firearm. I had heard years ago if you try to buy a gun and get a negative on the background check, it is treated as a crime. I have no idea what to tell him. I tried a google search and got a lot of garbage but nothing that had an answer. He said he was convicted of a felony and served 30 days. I thought a felony got you a year or more??? thanks, he is turning into a pretty good kid
seems simple to me. The guys not gonna hide anything from the gvt. he wants to get it right from here on. id just go try to buy a gun and see what happens. if he gets denied there is no penalty and he can pursue it how he wants from there. make sure he is honest on 4473. and get a copy of it and keep a record of date, shop ect.

I knew an older man that had a ccw permit and he has 2 felonies from more than 10yrs ago.
He said they didn't check back farther than that.

I wanted to report him because he was a bit unstable but I never did.
 
In America a convicted felon can serve in congress or senate or even serve as president but can’t buy a hunting rifle or vote.
 
His mother has a 38spl I found for her, and dad has a 10-22. They have a nursery and he lives in a smallish travel trailer on the property.

Short answer convicted of a felcoy no can't own a firearm.
 
Short answer convicted of a felcoy no can't own a firearm.
If they had their Civil Rights (firearms possession and voting) restored through the Courts, yes they can. Not every felony is permanent No go for firearms. 9/10 times they will get a NICS delay, but it will be sorted out.
 
The phrase,” Have you EVER been convicted of a felony or Family Violence?” Means ever. Expunging will not make EVER go a way.

I would just go buy one and see what happens answering truthfully.

This is incorrect for two reasons. First, an expungement specially removes the prohibited person from being prohibited. Don't believe me? Read the instructions on the 4473 form, it is stated in there.

Second, if you answer yes to one of the prohibited qualifications on the 4473, the sale ends right there. You have told the FFL you are prohibited, at this point if the FFL transfers the firearm, even if NICS doesn't stop it, the FFL has transferred a firearm to a prohibited person. This will get your license revoked at the very least with DOJ's new "zero tolerance" policy.
