  1. Yes, under certain conditions

  2. No, under no circumstances

  3. Only if employed in Illinois

  4. Only for military personnel

The correct answer is: Yes, under certain conditions

Non-residents of Illinois are eligible for a FOID card under certain conditions. These conditions typically include owning property in the state, having some type of Illinois state-issued identification, such as a driver's license, or meeting other specific requirements designated by the Illinois State Police. It is important for non-residents to carefully review the specific eligibility criteria set forth by the Illinois State Police in order to determine if they qualify for a FOID card. Option B is incorrect because non-residents can be eligible for a FOID card under certain circumstances. Option C and Option D are also incorrect as they do not encompass all the possible conditions under which a non-resident may qualify for a FOID card.
