What is a primary requirement for Illinois state residents applying for a FOID card?

Possessing a valid driver's license
Passing a hunting safety course
Completing a firearms training course
Passing a background check

The correct answer is: Passing a background check

To apply for a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in Illinois, one of the primary requirements for residents is to pass a background check. This ensures that individuals seeking a FOID card meet the necessary criteria and do not have any disqualifying factors that would prevent them from being able to possess a firearm legally. Options A, B, and C are not primary requirements for obtaining a FOID card in Illinois. While having a valid driver's license or completing firearms training courses may be beneficial or necessary for other aspects of firearm ownership, they are not the primary requirements for obtaining a FOID card in the state of Illinois. Option B, passing a hunting safety course, is specifically related to hunting activities and is not a requirement for obtaining a FOID card for general firearm possession in Illinois.
