What is one of the reasons a FOID card can be denied?

  1. Failure to disclose criminal history

  2. Owing child support

  3. Not being a U.S. citizen

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

One of the reasons a FOID card can be denied is for a failure to disclose criminal history. This refers to any past criminal convictions or incidents that were not disclosed on the application, regardless of the severity. Another reason could be owing child support, as this may suggest irresponsibility or financial instability. Lastly, not being a U.S. citizen is also a valid reason for denial, as the FOID card is a form of identification for Illinois residents only. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as all of the other options are potential reasons for a FOID card to be denied.
