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

Any resident of Illinois
Only Illinois residents over the age of 21
Illinois residents with no criminal record
Illinois residents who have completed a firearms safety course

The correct answer is: Any resident of Illinois

The eligibility to apply for a FOID card in Illinois includes any resident of the state, provided they meet certain qualifications, such as being a legal resident and not falling under specific prohibitive categories, like felony convictions or mental health restrictions. This broad eligibility means that regardless of age or criminal background (provided they are not prohibited), any resident can apply. The other options introduce additional criteria that do not entirely encompass the eligibility requirements as stated in the law. For example, the age restriction and the requirement of a clean criminal record, while they may apply to some individuals, do not represent the overall qualification criteria for all potential applicants. Thus, option A correctly reflects the inclusive nature of eligibility for applying for a FOID card in Illinois.
