What action should be taken if an individual no longer possesses a firearm?

The FOID card must be surrendered
Notify the Illinois State Police
Keep the FOID card until it expires
None of the above

The correct answer is: The FOID card must be surrendered

The correct action when an individual no longer possesses a firearm is to surrender the FOID card. In Illinois, the Firearm Owner's Identification card is tied to the ownership and possession of firearms. When someone no longer has a firearm, it is required to surrender the FOID card to ensure compliance with state laws regarding firearm ownership. This action not only reflects responsible firearm management but also helps maintain accurate records within the state's system. While notifying the Illinois State Police might seem like a necessary step, it is not specifically required in relation to just no longer possessing a firearm. Retaining the FOID card until its expiration contradicts the legal obligation to surrender it when firearms are no longer owned, as it may create potential issues regarding compliance with firearm laws. There isn't any other action defined in the context of this question that aligns with the legal requirements in Illinois when an individual no longer possesses a firearm.
