Can a FOID card application be denied based on a misdemeanor conviction?

Yes, for any misdemeanor
No, never for a misdemeanor
Yes, but only for specific misdemeanors related to violence or guns
Yes, but only for drug-related misdemeanors

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for specific misdemeanors related to violence or guns

A FOID card application can be denied based on a misdemeanor conviction, but only for specific misdemeanors related to violence or guns. This means that if you have a misdemeanor conviction for a non-violent or non-firearm related offense, it should not affect your FOID card application. Additionally, it is also important to note that not all misdemeanor convictions will result in a denial of a FOID card application. Some misdemeanors may still allow for a successful application, depending on the severity and type of offense. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect as they suggest that any misdemeanor or drug-related misdemeanor will result in a denial, which is not always the case. Option B is also incorrect as even though the restrictions for misdemeanor convictions are specific, they still exist.
