What is a disqualifying factor for obtaining a FOID card?

Having a speeding ticket in the last year
Being under 21 without parental consent
Not having a valid Illinois driver's license
A felony conviction

The correct answer is: A felony conviction

A disqualifying factor for obtaining a FOID card is a felony conviction. This means that if a person has been convicted of a felony, they are not eligible to obtain a FOID card. The remaining options are incorrect because - Having a speeding ticket in the last year may not necessarily disqualify someone from obtaining a FOID card as it is a minor offense. However, it could potentially raise concerns about the individual's behavior and may be considered during the application process. - While being under 21 without parental consent is a disqualifying factor, this only applies to minor applicants. Someone who is 21 or older would not be disqualified for this reason. - Not having a valid Illinois driver's license is also not a disqualifying factor. This is because there are alternative forms of identification that can be used to apply for a FOID card.
