What disqualifies a person from receiving a FOID card?

Not being a resident of Illinois
A conviction for a felony
Not having a valid driver's license
Being under 21 without parental consent

The correct answer is: A conviction for a felony

While options A, C, and D may also prevent a person from obtaining a FOID card, the main disqualifying factor is a felony conviction. This is because a felony is a serious criminal offense that can result in the loss of certain rights, like the right to possess a firearm. Therefore, having a felony conviction would automatically disqualify a person from receiving a FOID card. On the other hand, options A, C, and D may vary depending on the specific circumstances and may not always be a permanent barrier to obtaining a FOID card. For example, a person may become a resident of Illinois, obtain a valid driver's license, or reach the age of 21 with parental consent in the future.
