Can a person with a FOID card purchase ammunition in Illinois?

  1. Yes, without restriction

  2. Yes, but only for certain calibers

  3. No, it's not allowed

  4. Yes, but only with special permission

The correct answer is: Yes, without restriction

A FOID card, or Firearm Owner's Identification card, is issued to Illinois residents who have passed a background check and are eligible to purchase firearms and ammunition. Therefore, a person with a FOID card can purchase ammunition without any restrictions in Illinois. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they limit or restrict a person's ability to purchase ammunition with a FOID card. Option B incorrectly states that certain calibers are allowed, while options C and D incorrectly state that it is not allowed or only allowed with special permission, respectively. None of these restrictions are mentioned or implied in the question, making option A the correct answer.
