PIN# not accepted

[mpd61]

Today at IDC I was purchasing a firearm. My LTC Class A is new this year, with no fingerprint. My Pin# was not accepted by the computer system. Do I need to contact Chelsea, or my local P.D. to straighten this out? Ted says the Local PD but I'm thinking Chelsea. Anybody run into this yet?

No fingerprint??

No fingerprint??

Mine has no fingerprint either. The guy trying to scan it gave up after a half hour of holding my hand - so I need to have the pin handy.

I think that there's two different PIN's. One that comes along with your LTC for some reason and one that you have to send off for. The one that you need to send off for is the one that's needed for transactions at the store. I may be wrong and if I am then someone here will correct me.


ETA: After looking into it, I think the one that came with your LTC is for the finger print problem and the other I mentioned is for NICS delays. As for where you should go to fix it, I'm sorry but I don't know.

"Ted" was right. Call your local PD. They didn't give you the right pin or it was not activated. The latter is VERY common.

Yep, sounds like your card wasn't activated, which is a local PD issue.

Unforunately, the former is pretty common also.

Well...

Called CHSB/FRB first...They were able to inform me that my pin was OK, but I had reversed last two digits Oooops! My bad

Ah good. How's jumping through hoops working for you?

I just learned that when you renew your LTC, not only do they issue you a different lic #, but the pin is different too.
