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

A felony conviction
A speeding ticket
A conviction for not paying child support
A DUI conviction

The correct answer is: A felony conviction

A felony conviction would disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card because it is a serious criminal offense that is punishable by imprisonment for more than one year. This type of conviction shows that the individual has a history of breaking the law and therefore poses a potential danger to themselves and others by owning a firearm. Options B (a speeding ticket) and C (a conviction for not paying child support) would not disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card because they are not criminal offenses. A DUI conviction (option D) may disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card, depending on the severity of the offense and the state's laws regarding alcohol-related offenses and gun ownership. However, A (a felony conviction) is the only option that would automatically disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card.
