Can someone with a FOID card purchase firearms in any state?

Yes, in all states
No, only in Illinois
Yes, but only in states with reciprocal agreements
No, it's only for possession, not for purchase

The correct answer is: No, only in Illinois

While it is true that having a FOID card allows for possession of firearms in other states with reciprocal agreements, it does not necessarily grant the ability to purchase firearms in those states. Only a small number of states have reciprocity with Illinois, leading to option C being incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because a FOID card can be used for both possession and purchase purposes in the state of Illinois. Therefore, the most accurate answer is B, as only Illinois recognizes and accepts the FOID card for firearm purchases.
