I've notice that most everybody goes to considerable lengths to obscure the serial numbers when they post pics of their guns.
Some folks photoshop the pic, some put tape over the numbers, and I saw one somewhere that had a bullet sitting just right to cover it up.
I've wondered several times why people do that.
Can anybody enlighten me?
What could possibly happen if some bad guy somewhere were to discover the serial number of one of my guns?
I filled out all the federal paperwork when I bought all my guns, and still have receipts for most of them, so there's no way that anybody could claim them as stolen property or anything like that.
The physical security here at the house is sufficient to prevent the locals from stealing my guns, and I'm even less worried about some Bozo that lives a thousand miles away.
Does anybody really believe that posting this pic is going to cause some thief somewhere to start salivating over the idea of risking his life to steal a rifle that can be bought new at any place that sells guns for $130.00?
Seriously... The government already knows I have it.
Why would I care if every person in the entire United States wrote down that serial number and memorized it?
How could that hurt me?
