What disqualifies someone from receiving a FOID card?

A felony conviction
Not liking guns
Living in another state
Being under 18

The correct answer is: A felony conviction

A felony conviction disqualifies someone from receiving a FOID card because individuals who have been convicted of a felony have demonstrated that they may pose a threat to public safety. It is considered unsafe for individuals with felony convictions to possess firearms, which is why this disqualifies them from obtaining a FOID card. The other options are incorrect: - Not liking guns is not a disqualifying factor for receiving a FOID card. Personal preferences regarding firearms do not affect one's eligibility for a FOID card. - Living in another state does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card, but they would need to meet the residency requirements set by the state of Illinois. - Being under 18 is also a disqualifying factor, as individuals must be at least 21 years old to be eligible for a FOID card in Illinois.
