What is a common reason for the revocation of a FOID card?

  1. Moving to another state

  2. Acquiring a speeding ticket

  3. Being convicted of a felony

  4. Failure to use the card

The correct answer is: Being convicted of a felony

Being convicted of a felony is a common reason for the revocation of a FOID card in Illinois. Individuals who are convicted of a felony lose their right to possess firearms, and as a result, their FOID card will be revoked. It is important to follow all laws and regulations related to firearms to avoid any issues with your FOID card status. The other options are incorrect: A. Moving to another state does not automatically result in the revocation of a FOID card. However, individuals are required to update their address with the Illinois State Police within 30 days of moving. B. Acquiring a speeding ticket does not typically lead to the revocation of a FOID card. D. Failure to use the card is not a reason for revocation, but failure to comply with all the legal requirements associated with owning a firearm could lead to revocation.
