The correct answer is: A hefty fine and possible jail time

If someone is caught with a firearm without a valid FOID card in Illinois, they could face a hefty fine and possible jail time. Possessing a firearm without a valid FOID card is a serious offense in the state of Illinois and is punishable by law. It is important for firearm owners to ensure that they have a valid FOID card to avoid legal consequences. Option A is incorrect because a warning is unlikely for this offense. Option B is less severe compared to the actual consequences of being caught with a firearm without a valid FOID card. In addition to confiscating the firearm, the individual could still face fines and jail time. Option D is not a typical consequence for being caught with a firearm without a valid FOID card.
