Question: 1 / 20

Is a background check required every time a FOID cardholder purchases a firearm?

No, the FOID card serves as the background check

Yes, a background check is required for each purchase

A Option A is incorrect because although a FOID card is required for every purchase of a firearm, it does not substitute for a background check. The FOID card simply shows that the cardholder is eligible to own a firearm, but a background check verifies that the person is legally allowed to purchase one.

B: Option B is correct because a federal background check is required for each purchase of a firearm. This is to ensure that the person purchasing the firearm is not prohibited by law from owning one at the time of the purchase.

C: Option C is incorrect because regardless of whether it is the first or subsequent purchase, a background check is required each time.

D: Option D is incorrect because although a seller may choose to run a background check before completing a sale, it is still required by federal law to conduct a background check for every firearm purchase. Additionally, some states may have stricter laws requiring background checks for every purchase, regardless of the seller's discretion.

Only for the first purchase

No, but sellers may require one at their discretion
