What action should be taken if a FOID card expires?

Stop using all firearms immediately
You have a 30-day grace period to renew
Renew the FOID card as soon as possible
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

When a FOID card expires, it is crucial for the cardholder to renew it as soon as possible to remain in compliance with Illinois law. Renewing the FOID card ensures that the individual can continue to legally possess firearms. The expiration of the FOID card does not necessitate immediately stopping the use of all firearms, as long as the renewal process is initiated promptly. Additionally, in Illinois, there is a 30-day grace period to renew the FOID card after it expires to allow individuals a reasonable window of time to complete the renewal process without facing penalties. Therefore, the correct action to take if a FOID card expires is to renew it as soon as possible, with the added benefit of a 30-day grace period for renewal.
