Which of the following acts would disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card?

  1. Failing to disclose a criminal record on the application

  2. Having a valid driver's license

  3. Being a member of a competitive shooting club

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Failing to disclose a criminal record on the application

Failing to disclose a criminal record on the application would disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card because Illinois law prohibits individuals with certain criminal convictions from obtaining a FOID card. It is crucial to provide all necessary and accurate information on the application as any false information could result in the denial of the FOID card application or possibly even criminal charges. Having a valid driver's license and being a member of a competitive shooting club would not disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card. These factors are not directly related to the eligibility criteria for obtaining a FOID card in Illinois. Therefore, the correct answer is providing incorrect or false information about a criminal record on the application.
