Can individuals with a FOID card carry a concealed weapon in Illinois?

  1. Yes, automatically with a FOID card

  2. No, a separate license is required

  3. Only within their own property

  4. Only law enforcement officials can carry concealed

The correct answer is: No, a separate license is required

In Illinois, individuals with a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon. To legally carry a concealed firearm in Illinois, a separate Concealed Carry License (CCL) is required. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Option A is incorrect because simply having a FOID card does not grant the individual the authority to carry a concealed weapon. Option C is incorrect as it implies that individuals can only carry a concealed weapon on their own property, which is not the case in Illinois. Option D is incorrect because it states that only law enforcement officials can carry concealed, which is not true as civilians can obtain a Concealed Carry License for this purpose.
