What happens if you attempt to purchase a firearm without a valid FOID card in Illinois?

  1. The sale will proceed with a warning

  2. The sale will be declined

  3. You will be fined immediately

  4. The firearm will be confiscated

The correct answer is: The sale will be declined

If you attempt to purchase a firearm without a valid FOID card in Illinois, the sale will be declined. This is because a valid FOID card is required by law in order to purchase a firearm in the state of Illinois. Without a valid card, the sale would be considered illegal and the dealer would not be able to complete the transaction. Additionally, attempting to purchase a firearm without a valid FOID card can result in criminal charges and penalties. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the consequences of attempting to purchase a firearm without a valid FOID card.
