Which of the following conditions makes an individual ineligible for a FOID card?

  1. Conviction of a felony

  2. A speeding ticket

  3. Ownership of property in Illinois

  4. A non-violent misdemeanor conviction

The correct answer is: Conviction of a felony

An individual is ineligible for a FOID card if they have been convicted of a felony. This means that they have been found guilty of a serious crime that typically carries a punishment of imprisonment for over one year. Therefore, options B (having a speeding ticket), C (owning property in Illinois), and D (having a non-violent misdemeanor conviction) do not make an individual ineligible for a FOID card. These options may be incorrect but are not significant enough to disqualify someone from obtaining a FOID card.
