  1. The purchase will be declined

  2. A fine will be issued

  3. It will be allowed for small arms only

  4. There will be no consequences

The correct answer is: The purchase will be declined

If you try to purchase a firearm in Illinois without a FOID card, it will be declined because it is illegal to purchase or possess a firearm in Illinois without a valid FOID card. Option B is incorrect because a fine is not the immediate consequence for attempting to purchase a firearm without a FOID card. Option C is incorrect because the type of firearm does not affect the legality of the purchase without a FOID card. Option D is incorrect because there are indeed consequences for attempting to purchase a firearm without a FOID card, as it is a violation of state law.
