Can non-residents of Illinois apply for a FOID card?

Yes, if they have a property in Illinois
No, only Illinois residents can apply
Yes, but only for hunting purposes
Yes, if they are part of law enforcement

The correct answer is: No, only Illinois residents can apply

The correct answer indicates that only Illinois residents can apply for a FOID card. The FOID card is specifically designed for residents of Illinois as a means to regulate firearm ownership within the state. This requirement ensures that those who wish to possess or carry firearms are subject to the state’s laws and regulations, promoting accountability and safety among firearm owners. Other options imply various scenarios where non-residents might apply for a FOID card, but these scenarios do not align with the law governing FOID applications. The structure of the law is such that it centralizes the responsibility of firearms ownership within the jurisdiction of Illinois residents, ensuring they are comprehensively informed about local firearm regulations.
