Who is eligible to apply for an Illinois FOID card?

  1. Illinois residents only

  2. Any US resident

  3. Only Illinois residents over the age of 21

  4. Non-US citizens living in Illinois

The correct answer is: Illinois residents only

To obtain an Illinois FOID card, one must be a resident of Illinois. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because it includes all US residents, not just those living in Illinois. Option C is not entirely correct because individuals over the age of 18, not just 21, may apply for a FOID card. Option D is incorrect because non-US citizens are not eligible for an Illinois FOID card.
