Is it mandatory to carry your FOID card while transporting a firearm in Illinois?

Yes, at all times
No, not if the firearm is unloaded and in a case
Yes, but only during hunting season
No, if you have a concealed carry permit

The correct answer is: Yes, at all times

It is a requirement in Illinois to have your FOID card with you when carrying firearms, even if they are unloaded and in a case. This law ensures that law enforcement can easily verify that an individual is legally permitted to possess firearms. While there are specific scenarios regarding the transport of firearms, the overarching stipulation is to always have the FOID card available to confirm ownership and legality, making this response correct. Other options may suggest exceptions or conditions that do not align with state law, but the consistent need for the FOID card while transporting firearms remains a key aspect of firearm regulation in Illinois.
