Can a FOID card be revoked if the holder moves out of Illinois?

Yes, immediately upon moving
No, it remains valid until expiration
Yes, but only after the card expires
No, unless the individual commits a felony

The correct answer is: Yes, immediately upon moving

The correct response indicates that a FOID card can be revoked immediately upon moving out of Illinois because a FOID card is intended for residents of Illinois. If a person holding a FOID card relocates to a different state, they no longer meet the residency requirement that is necessary to maintain valid status for the card. This means that, effective immediately upon moving, the individual should not possess a FOID card, as it is tied to their legal residency in Illinois. It's important to understand the implications of residency on maintaining a FOID card. Options suggesting that the card remains valid until expiration or is only revoked under certain conditions misunderstand the residency requirement. Additionally, maintaining a FOID card while being a resident of another state creates legal complications, making the correct response about immediate revocation appropriate in this context.
