Which of the following convictions disqualifies an individual from receiving a FOID card?

Speeding ticket
Felony
Misdemeanor DUI
Shoplifting under $300

The correct answer is: Felony

Individuals with a felony conviction are disqualified from receiving a FOID card because they have been convicted of a serious crime. This means they are likely deemed a danger to themselves or others and are prohibited from owning firearms. Option A, speeding ticket, is incorrect because it is a minor traffic offense and does not indicate a history of violence or criminal behavior. Option C, misdemeanor DUI, while a more serious offense, is also incorrect because it is still considered a relatively minor crime and does not necessarily disqualify an individual from owning firearms. Option D, shoplifting under $300, is also incorrect because it is a non-violent crime and does not disqualify an individual from owning firearms, unless it is considered a felony in the specific state.
