What is a common reason for a FOID card application to be denied?

  1. Failure to disclose a criminal record

  2. Incorrectly filled out application

  3. Not being a resident of Illinois

The correct answer is: All of the above

A common reason for a FOID card application to be denied is a combination of the options listed - failure to disclose a criminal record, incorrectly filled out application, and not being a resident of Illinois. It is important for applicants to thoroughly read and accurately complete the application to avoid any discrepancies or omissions that could result in a denial. Additionally, individuals who have a criminal record must be transparent and disclose this information. Lastly, only residents of Illinois are eligible for a FOID card, so if an applicant is not a resident, their application will be denied.
