The correct answer is: Only Illinois residents
Only Illinois residents are eligible to apply for a FOID card in Illinois.

Residents of other states would be subject to the firearm laws of their respective states. Individuals who are not residents of Illinois would not meet the eligibility criteria for obtaining a FOID card.
