What is a common reason for the denial of a FOID application?

  1. Incomplete application

  2. Applicant is under 18

  3. Lack of hunting license

  4. Not being a U.S. citizen

The correct answer is: Incomplete application

A common reason for the denial of a FOID application is an incomplete application. It is crucial that all required information is accurately filled out and all necessary documents are submitted when applying for a FOID card. Any missing or incorrect information can result in the denial of the application. Therefore, ensuring that the application is complete and accurate is essential to avoid any delays or rejections in the FOID application process. Option B, C, and D are not the correct answer because they do not align with the common reason for the denial of a FOID application. While being under 18, lacking a hunting license, or not being a U.S. citizen can all lead to the denial of a FOID application, an incomplete application is a more frequent and easily avoidable reason for denial.
