What kind of convictions disqualify an individual from receiving a FOID card?

  1. Misdemeanor

  2. Traffic violations

  3. Felony

  4. Parking tickets

The correct answer is: Felony

Felony convictions disqualify an individual from receiving a FOID card in Illinois. This is because felony convictions typically involve more serious crimes and are considered a higher risk in terms of responsible firearm ownership. Misdemeanors, traffic violations, and parking tickets do not automatically disqualify an individual from obtaining a FOID card. It is important to note that individuals with any felony convictions on their record are ineligible to possess a FOID card.
