Are non-residents of Illinois eligible to obtain a FOID card?

Yes, if they are employed in Illinois
No, under any circumstances
Yes, if they own property in Illinois
Yes, but only for hunting purposes

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

In Illinois, the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card is generally restricted to residents of the state. The law mandates that only individuals who reside in Illinois can apply for a FOID card, which is necessary for the legal possession of firearms and ammunition within the state. The option indicating that non-residents are not eligible to obtain a FOID card is correct, as it aligns with the legal requirements set forth in Illinois firearm regulations. Other scenarios, such as being employed in Illinois, owning property, or having restrictions for hunting purposes, do not provide a legal basis for non-residents to obtain a FOID. The law is explicit in its requirement for residency, making this option the only accurate choice.
