What will happen if you try to purchase a firearm in Illinois without a FOID card?

The purchase will be declined
A fine will be issued
It will be allowed for small arms only
There will be no consequences

The correct answer is: The purchase will be declined

Option B is incorrect because a fine is not the immediate consequence for attempting to purchase a firearm without a FOID card. Option C is incorrect because the type of firearm does not affect the legality of the purchase without a FOID card. Option D is incorrect because there are indeed consequences for attempting to purchase a firearm without a FOID card, as it is a violation of state law.
