Can individuals with a FOID card purchase firearms and ammunition from any state?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only from neighboring states

  3. No, purchases are limited to Illinois only

  4. Yes, but they must comply with both Illinois and the selling state's laws

The correct answer is: Yes, but they must comply with both Illinois and the selling state's laws

Individuals with a FOID card can purchase firearms and ammunition from any state, but they must comply with both Illinois and the selling state's laws. This is the correct answer because while possessing a FOID card allows individuals to purchase firearms and ammunition across state lines, it is crucial to adhere to the laws and regulations of both Illinois and the state from which the purchase is made to ensure lawful transactions. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice among the options provided. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not fully capture the requirement for individuals with a FOID card to comply with both Illinois and the selling state's laws when purchasing firearms and ammunition from out-of-state locations.
