Question for MA residents regarding PIN number

[hogwylde]

I don't really know what the PIN number is for but nonetheless. As we know, in MA we cannot purchase a gun without the PIN number and of course I have misplaced it. I do have the number which to call to retrieve it but I would obviously have to wait until Monday. So I began to search around and came across the paperwork from when I bought my first gun.

It is a yellow piece of paper titled (in the center):

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Criminal History Systems Board
Firearms Record Bureau

To the right of that (towards the right hand corner of the paper is a 7 digit number. It looks vaguely familiar but is that my PIN?

I lucked out. They are generally closed on the weekend but if there is a gun show going on somewhere, they remain open since they are expecting a lot of calls for lost PINS.
