Can an individual under the age of 21 apply for a FOID card?

  1. Yes, with parental consent

  2. Yes, without any restrictions

  3. No, under no circumstances

  4. Yes, but only for hunting purposes

The correct answer is: Yes, with parental consent

An individual under the age of 21 can apply for a FOID card with parental consent. This means that although they are under the legal age requirement for owning a firearm in Illinois, they can obtain a FOID card if their parent or legal guardian provides their consent. This allows individuals under 21 to possess and use firearms for approved purposes under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian. It is important to note that this specific provision with parental consent is what makes option A the correct answer.
