Is it possible for a FOID card to be denied?

No, everyone who applies receives one
Yes, if the applicant does not meet eligibility criteria
No, unless the applicant is under 18
Yes, but only for non-residents of Illinois

The correct answer is: Yes, if the applicant does not meet eligibility criteria

FOID cards, or Firearm Owner's Identification cards, are issued by the Illinois State Police to eligible applicants. This means that not everyone who applies for a FOID card will automatically receive one. Option A is incorrect because there are specific eligibility requirements that must be met in order to be issued a FOID card. Option C is also incorrect because an applicant over the age of 18 can still be denied if they do not meet the eligibility criteria. Option D is incorrect because non-residents of Illinois are not eligible to apply for a FOID card in the first place. Therefore, the only correct option is B, as an applicant can be denied a FOID card if they do not meet the eligibility criteria.
