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

  1. Report the loss or theft to the police within 48 hours

  2. Notify the Illinois State Police immediately

  3. Apply for a new card within 30 days

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

The correct response emphasizes the importance of both reporting the loss or theft to the police and notifying the Illinois State Police. Reporting to the police ensures that there is an official record of the incident, which can assist in preventing any potential misuse of the lost or stolen FOID card. This step is crucial for your own protection and helps law enforcement in tracking any potential illegal activities associated with the lost card. Notifying the Illinois State Police immediately is also essential, as they are responsible for managing FOID cards in Illinois. By informing them of the loss or theft, they can take measures to suspend the card and prevent any unauthorized use. This proactive approach is vital in maintaining a secure firearms ownership environment. Both actions are integral to addressing the issue appropriately and ensuring that any risks associated with the lost or stolen FOID card are mitigated effectively.
