The correct answer is: Surrender the FOID card to local law enforcement

When a person becomes ineligible to hold a FOID card, the responsible action is to surrender the FOID card to local law enforcement. This is important because holding a FOID card provides the legal authority to possess firearms within Illinois. If an individual becomes ineligible, it signifies a change in legal status that prohibits them from legally possessing firearms. Surrendering the card helps to ensure that the individual is no longer able to exercise rights that they are no longer entitled to, which is a crucial step in maintaining public safety and compliance with the law. Other options, while they might suggest actions that a person could take regarding firearms, do not fulfill the legal obligation effectively and may not address the situation appropriately. Surrendering the card helps to formalize the change in eligibility, making it clear that the person no longer holds the necessary legal recognition to own or possess firearms.
