For what primary reason might an individual be denied a FOID card?

Lack of hunting experience
Failure to provide a valid ID
Being convicted of a felony
Not being a resident of Illinois

The correct answer is: Being convicted of a felony

An individual might be denied a FOID card primarily for being convicted of a felony. This is because individuals who have been convicted of a felony are generally not eligible to hold a FOID card in Illinois due to safety concerns and restrictions on firearm possession for those with felony records. Regarding the other options: A. Lack of hunting experience is not a reason for denying a FOID card. Hunting experience is not a requirement for obtaining a FOID card in Illinois. B. Failure to provide a valid ID can impede the application process, but it is not the primary reason for denial unless the lack of valid ID is linked to underlying eligibility issues. D. Not being a resident of Illinois is a valid reason for denial, as the FOID card is specific to Illinois residents.
