Background checks...
While in a gun store I heard someone mention that stuff like tickets and child support can get you denied in a background check. Are there any civil violations that can get a Constitutional right revoked and if so, how long?

Not unless you live in a state that has its own criteria. The only things that will result in a NICS denial are positive answers to questions on the 4473.

I heard of a case where a judge yanked a guy's pistol permit, not do to actual criminal violations, but due to an extensive pattern of traffic offenses and uncivil behavior. Always short of an actual criminal offense, but the judge ruled his behavior constituted a blatant disregard for public safety and the rule of law, and revoked his pistol permit. On a federal level, it takes a criminal conviction (or a judge's ruling you are mentally unfit) to become a prohibited person. It does not have to be a felony conviction, misdemeanor domestic violence conviction will get your firearms rights pulled, for life thanks to the Lautenberg act.

You are correct, I wrote the wrong word. I have edited my post to correct it.
