Can an individual's FOID card be revoked?

  1. Yes, if they are convicted of a felony

  2. No, once issued it cannot be revoked

  3. Yes, but only if they move out of Illinois

  4. No, unless voluntarily surrendered

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are convicted of a felony

An individual's FOID card can be revoked if they are convicted of a felony. This is because individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under both state and federal law. As a result, the FOID card will be revoked if the individual is convicted of a felony to ensure compliance with the law and public safety. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because once issued, a FOID card is not permanent and can be revoked for various reasons, such as felony convictions, domestic violence convictions, mental health issues, or being subject to an order of protection. Moving out of Illinois or voluntarily surrendering the FOID card are not the only circumstances under which a FOID card can be revoked.
