Which of these individuals is NOT eligible for a FOID card?

A person with a non-violent felony conviction 20 years ago
An individual dishonorably discharged from the military
A resident of Illinois for the past 2 months
A 30-year old with no criminal record

The correct answer is: An individual dishonorably discharged from the military

The correct answer identifies that an individual dishonorably discharged from the military is not eligible for a FOID card. Under Illinois law, individuals who have been dishonorably discharged from the armed forces are prohibited from obtaining a FOID card due to concerns regarding their trustworthiness and fitness to possess firearms. The other options may allow for eligibility under specific conditions. For instance, a person with a non-violent felony conviction may be eligible for a FOID card if certain timeframes have passed and criteria are met. A resident of Illinois who has lived there for only 2 months might face additional scrutiny or requirements, but this does not automatically disqualify them. Lastly, a 30-year-old with no criminal record generally meets the standards for obtaining a FOID card.
