Can someone with a recent conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) apply for a FOID card?

  1. Yes, immediately

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, after a waiting period

  4. Only with special permission from the state

The correct answer is: Yes, after a waiting period

While a recent DUI conviction can be an obstacle in obtaining a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, it is not an absolute disqualification. Option A is incorrect because additional requirements must be met before a person can apply for a FOID card with a recent DUI conviction. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that a person can never apply for a FOID card with a DUI conviction, while Option D is too vague and does not provide enough information about the process. Option C correctly reflects that a waiting period is required before someone with a recent DUI conviction can apply for a FOID card.
