Can non-residents apply for an Illinois FOID card?

  1. Yes, but only if they are law enforcement officers

  2. Yes, but only if they own property in Illinois

  3. No, non-residents cannot apply

  4. Yes, without any restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they are law enforcement officers

Non-residents cannot apply for an Illinois FOID card without any restrictions. Option B is incorrect because owning property in Illinois does not automatically qualify a non-resident for a FOID card. Option D is incorrect because non-residents can only apply if they are law enforcement officers, meaning there are restrictions. Option C is also incorrect because it implies that non-residents cannot apply at all, when in fact they can as long as they meet the requirements stated in Option A.
