Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Practice Exam 2025 - Free FOID Practice Questions and Study Guide

A felony conviction disqualifies someone from receiving a FOID card because individuals who have been convicted of a felony have demonstrated that they may pose a threat to public safety. It is considered unsafe for individuals with felony convictions to possess firearms, which is why this disqualifies them from obtaining a FOID card.

The other options are incorrect:

- Not liking guns is not a disqualifying factor for receiving a FOID card. Personal preferences regarding firearms do not affect one's eligibility for a FOID card.

- Living in another state does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card, but they would need to meet the residency requirements set by the state of Illinois.

- Being under 18 is also a disqualifying factor, as individuals must be at least 21 years old to be eligible for a FOID card in Illinois.
