Who is eligible to apply for an Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card?

  1. Any resident of Illinois over the age of 18

  2. Only members of law enforcement agencies

  3. Non-resident competitive shooters who are attending an event in Illinois

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Eligibility for an Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card is not limited to specific groups. Option A, which states that any Illinois resident over the age of 18 can apply, is not entirely correct. While age is a requirement, non-resident competitive shooters attending an event in Illinois also have the option to apply for a FOID card. Option B, which states that only members of law enforcement agencies can apply, is incorrect as any eligible individual can submit an application for a FOID card. Therefore, the most accurate answer is D, as all of the options mentioned can apply for an Illinois FOID card.
