Can non-residents of Illinois apply for a FOID card?

Yes, if they are competitive shooters
Yes, if they own property in Illinois
No, only Illinois residents can apply
Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Individuals who do not reside in Illinois are not typically eligible to obtain a FOID (Firearm Owner's Identification) card, which is required by state law for individuals who wish to possess and purchase firearms or ammunition in Illinois. However, there are two exceptions that allow non-residents to apply for a FOID card. Option A is incorrect because non-residents are not eligible for a FOID card solely based on their status as competitive shooters; additional criteria must be met. Similarly, option B is not entirely accurate because non-residents can only apply for a FOID card if they own property in Illinois and meet certain other requirements. Therefore, the most accurate choice is option D, as it accounts for the limited exceptions for non-residents to apply for a FOID card.
