Do you need the pin number to buy firearm from FFL in MA?

[2garfields]

Yes or no?

 

[MA_Shooter]

Useful if the fingerprint reader isn't working. Otherwise, no.

Yes or no?

I've only needed it when my print doesn't work.

I keep mine in my wallet, just in case. I have never needed it though.

I keep mine written on my ltc. That way I never need to look for it.

What he said, it is a backup mechanism for those who do not have the reader at all or in working order...

Thanks for the answers.

I saw a requirement in another thread to get it tattooed on your arm...

LOL..
I do that with my ATM cards, because I can never remember my pin. I write it in a computer code like hex or binary, that i know, and just need to remember to convert it to base 10 in my head.

I dont have a fingerprint on my ltc so I am required to have it everytime. i keep it in my cell phone.

Someone on here DOES have it tattooed on their arm.

It changes every renewal.

FYI i found out the hard way that you need the PIN to do a FTF transfer over the internet.

The paperwork issued with my LTC which contained my PIN specifically stated that the number is NOT to be written on the LTC. The state may consider this a violation of the terms of issuance.

Write your pin on the back of your drivers license. You most likely always have your drivers license on you, so you will never forget your pin.

I keep mine as a contact in my cell phone. My LTC doesn't have a print because the reader at the station was on the fritz when I got mine. After the first dozen uses, I pretty much remember it now.

I dont knopw why I dont have one. When my prints were done it was with ink and paper.are they usually done electronically?

They're usually done both ways.

oh well over here in mayberry, our windows 2.1 could probably not keep up.

I would never write my LTC pin on my LTC itself.

I would never write any pin anywhere on any license. That seems pretty silly.

 

[je25ff]

I've never even used it. Frankly, I'd need to search to find it.

Mines written on my LTC but its all jumbled up...hope I remember the right order.

I use base 13 so that 6 X 9 = 42

I don't like that very much.

I use secure vault software on my iPhone for stuff like that.

I just put the pin in my cell phone as a contact. If someone has both my wallet and my cell phone, the last thing I'm worried about is that they do a transfer at an FFL with my stolen license.

Unless I'm missing something?

Same with me, plumbers hands so no print, says use pin on my LTC . Also keep it in my cell under my notes.

That's what I did, but I just labeled it "PIN" so it's not clear what the PIN works with.

I put it in as "LTC PIN"... I figure most thieves aren't LTC holders and probably don't know what it means in this state.... and again, what good does it do them? Unless they look like me and they are trying to buy a gun through an FFL.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't understand the security aspects of the pin. It's just a way that the state has to prove that you made a transaction. Why they'd need to prove that, I have no idea. Maybe to prove something you did was long planned... but ... well, I don't really know. I can't even think up a plausible need for it.

Maybe if your license was being used on an e-fa10 at a FTF? But again, unless he looks like me...

It's just stupid.

Unless I'm missing something. Anyone?

Aside from Zappa's comment above, why not? What is your risk if the pin is on the ltc?
Zappa, I will have to research that. I've never heard such a thing.

Re: Sig 938 9mm

Just remember it has to make both "lists". Not just the EOPS roster.

I keep my pin in my cell phone. Ive never needed it for a transaction they use my LTC #. And the finer print scanner.
