What should you do if your FOID card is lost or stolen?

  1. Report it to the police within 48 hours

  2. Immediately apply for a new card

  3. There's no need to report it

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

If your FOID card is lost or stolen, you should report it to the police within 48 hours and immediately apply for a new card. Reporting it to the police helps to prevent any potential misuse of your card by someone else, and applying for a new card ensures that you are legally able to possess a firearm. Choosing options A or B alone would be incomplete and could lead to issues with your FOID card status. Option C is incorrect because if you do not report a lost or stolen FOID card, you may be held liable for any unlawful use of the card. Therefore, it is important to take both actions and report the lost or stolen card to the police and apply for a new one.
