What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a FOID card in Illinois, without parental consent?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 14 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age requirement to apply for a FOID card in Illinois, without parental consent, is indeed 21 years old. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals applying for a FOID card have reached an age where they are considered legally responsible adults, capable of making informed decisions regarding firearm ownership and usage. Those under 21 can still apply but must have parental or guardian consent to do so. This structure reflects a protective measure aimed at reducing risks associated with firearm access among minors.
