Is there a difference in the background checks between handguns and long guns. I am in Ohio. I have purchased rifles in the recent past, but would like to buy a handgun. My Father in law just reminded me that in the 1980's while visitng him, I got a fishing violation, which I don't think I took care of, sooo, just wondring if I might have a problem. Thanks And yes I am going to see if I can take care of the ticket.
