How long is a FOID card valid from the date of issuance?

10 years
5 years
1 year
2 years

The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID card, or Firearm Owners Identification Card, is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. This allows the holder to continue purchasing and possessing firearms in the state of Illinois for the duration of the card. The other options, 5 years, 1 year, and 2 years are incorrect because they do not align with the standard validity period for a FOID card. It is important to keep track of the expiration date and renew the card in a timely manner to avoid any legal issues.
