Who is required to have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in Illinois?

  1. Any person owning a firearm in Illinois

  2. Only police officers

  3. Only persons over the age of 21

  4. Non-residents visiting Illinois for hunting

The correct answer is: Any person owning a firearm in Illinois

In Illinois, any person who owns a firearm is required to have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. Police officers may be exempt from this requirement due to their profession, but the ownership of a firearm still requires them to have a valid FOID card. The age limit for obtaining a FOID card is 21 years old, but this applies to all persons, not just residents of Illinois. Non-residents visiting Illinois for hunting must also have a valid FOID card. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
