  1. Anyone under 18 years of age

  2. Non-residents of Illinois

  3. Individuals with a felony conviction

  4. Residents of Illinois over the age of 21

The correct answer is: Residents of Illinois over the age of 21

Residents of Illinois over the age of 21 are eligible to apply for a FOID card in Illinois. This is because the FOID card is issued by the Illinois State Police to residents of the state who are 21 years or older and wish to possess or purchase firearms and ammunition. It is important to note that individuals under the age of 21 are not eligible to apply for a FOID card. Additionally, non-residents of Illinois and individuals with a felony conviction are also not eligible to apply for a FOID card.
