Can individuals with a valid FOID card lend firearms to another FOID cardholder?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only for up to 72 hours

  3. No, it is never allowed

  4. Yes, if they are immediate family

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for up to 72 hours

Individuals with a valid FOID card can lend firearms to another FOID cardholder, but only for up to 72 hours. It is important to note that this lending must be temporary and within the specified time limit to be considered legal under Illinois law. Option A is incorrect because there are restrictions on lending firearms to another FOID cardholder. Option C is incorrect because the law does allow for lending under certain circumstances. Option D is incorrect because the relationship between the individuals is not the sole determinant for lending firearms - the possession of valid FOID cards is also crucial.
