    No.

    A federal agency background check for employment might turn up a SOT license, and in certain shall issue states a CCW license may show up, but basic ownership/what type/how many will not show on a BGC.
    The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

      Most companies check DMV, credit and criminal records.

        The one that my company does only shows DMV & Criminal stuff in all states, not just CA.

          Last year I had an interview set up with Blizzard Entertainment (yes the guys who make Warcraft) and in the package of crap they sent me a disclosure authorization document for some company named KROLL they contract with to do their background checks. Here's where it gets charming:

          "Such reports may include, but are not limited to, information as to my character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living"

          So I asked them, what is "mode of living" and got a reply "Mode of living? Social life. Life outside work. A common phrase used in background checks."

          I canceled the interview, I'm fine with criminal and in some cases credit checks but finding out about my personal life is none of their business. However I bet that this type of thing will become more pervasive as time goes by. Now that I look at it again, maybe I should have asked wtf personal characteristics was all about. Maybe they don't want people who have facial hair, or are too tall, or too short, or too... well whatever.

            We do BG checks all the time at my employer...we look at DMV, your credit reports, and any criminal history.

              Privacy, forget it.

              While there are supposedly some restrictions on the "Government", private industry will snoop as far as they can.

              You can refuse a background check, of course doing so means you won't get the job.

              Privacy, you can forget about it.

              Surf the net on your bosses computer, they have a record.

              Send a email of your bosses computer, they have it.

              Will they search your social networks, maybe.
