Can an individual appeal if their application for a FOID card is denied?

  1. Yes, but only within 30 days

  2. Yes, through the Illinois State Police

  3. No, the decision is final

  4. Yes, but with a certified lawyer

The correct answer is: Yes, through the Illinois State Police

An individual can appeal if their application for a FOID card is denied through the Illinois State Police. This is because the Illinois State Police handles FOID card applications and has the authority to overturn a denial decision. Option A is incorrect because individuals have 60 days to appeal, not 30 days. Option C is incorrect because the decision can be appealed. Option D is incorrect because individuals are not required to have a certified lawyer to appeal a denial decision.
