Which of the following is required to purchase firearms or ammunition in Illinois?

  1. A valid driver's license

  2. A valid FOID card

  3. Proof of membership in a shooting club

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: A valid FOID card

In order to purchase firearms or ammunition in Illinois, one is required to have a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card. This card is issued by the Illinois State Police to applicants who meet certain eligibility requirements, including passing a background check. A valid driver's license is not sufficient on its own, as it does not show that the individual has been approved to own firearms. Proof of membership in a shooting club may be required for certain types of ammunition, but it is not a requirement for purchasing all firearms or ammunition. Option D, "All of the above," is incorrect because only a valid FOID card is required, not all of the options listed.
