What are the consequences for possessing a firearm without a valid FOID card in Illinois?

  1. A fine and community service

  2. Revocation of driving privileges

  3. Criminal charges and potential imprisonment

  4. Mandatory firearms training

The correct answer is: Criminal charges and potential imprisonment

Possessing a firearm without a valid FOID card is a serious offense in Illinois. Option A is incorrect because a fine and community service are usually imposed for minor offenses, not for illegal possession of a firearm. Option B is incorrect because driving privileges are unrelated to firearm possession. Option D is incorrect because mandatory firearms training is usually required for obtaining a FOID card, not for possessing a firearm without one. The correct answer is criminal charges and potential imprisonment, as this offense is considered a Class A misdemeanor and can carry up to one year in jail or probation, as well as a fine of up to $2,500. It is important to follow all laws and regulations when it comes to firearm possession to avoid serious consequences.
