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

  1. A felony conviction

  2. A parking ticket

  3. A speeding violation

  4. A municipal ordinance violation

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 may indicate a history of violence or dangerous behavior. Options B, C, and D are all minor offenses that would not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card. A parking ticket is a non-criminal traffic violation, a speeding violation is a minor traffic offense, and a municipal ordinance violation is a minor local offense. While these offenses may result in a fine or penalty, they do not typically indicate a significant risk to public safety.
