How can an individual appeal a FOID card denial or revocation?

  1. By filing a lawsuit

  2. Through the Illinois State Police

  3. An appeal is not possible

  4. By petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court

The correct answer is: Through the Illinois State Police

An individual can appeal a FOID card denial or revocation by filling out an appeal form and submitting it to the Illinois State Police. This option is different from filing a lawsuit, which can be a lengthy and expensive process. It is also different from petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court, as the Supreme Court generally does not review state-level administrative decisions such as FOID card appeals. Additionally, an appeal is possible in this situation as there is an official appeal process outlined by the Illinois State Police. Therefore, the correct option is B Through the Illinois State Police.
