Who is eligible to apply for a FOID card in Illinois?

Any resident of Illinois
Only Illinois residents with a valid driver's license
Illinois residents 21 years of age or older
Non-residents with a valid hunting license

The correct answer is: Any resident of Illinois

The correct selection demonstrates an understanding that any resident of Illinois can apply for a FOID card, provided they meet certain eligibility requirements set by the state. This includes individuals who are at least 18 years old and who do not have any disqualifying factors, such as felony convictions or mental health issues. While some of the other options suggest restrictions (for example, needing a valid driver's license or being 21 years of age or older), they do not encompass the full scope of eligibility for all Illinois residents. Similarly, while non-resident hunters may have different licensing requirements, they are not applicable under the standard FOID card application process for Illinois residents. Thus, the choice that aligns with the broader eligibility criteria is the appropriate answer.
