Is a background check required each time a FOID cardholder purchases a firearm?

Yes, without exception
No, the FOID card serves as a perpetual background check
Yes, but only for the first purchase
Yes, but only annually

The correct answer is: Yes, without exception

Correct. Option A is the correct answer. In Illinois, a background check is required each time a FOID cardholder purchases a firearm. This ensures that a person's eligibility to possess a firearm is regularly reviewed and verified. It is not a one-time check; the background check is conducted for each firearm purchase to ensure that the cardholder continues to meet the legal requirements for gun ownership.
