I did it because everyone else was doing it.
I didn't want to feel left out. |

We all got together and decided to do it just to piss off any resident ATF trolls. Not saying you're one or anything. |

I presume you mean on online photos, where people obscure the s/n.
Standard practice: Keeps bad apples from reporting your gun stolen, or from engaging in other bad conduct. When I sold and bought antique pocket watches, this was also the practice. |

There's no telling what the
You would do it for the same reason you wouldn't post your real name, telephone number, etc. For the record, I'm Mike Jones and my number is (281) 330-8004. |

Hmm I see. Most people on Gunbroker don't even cover up the SNs on the gun being sold. Ben |

I don't post photos of anything that shows a visible serial number. That way some asshat can't copy it down and claim that I stole something from them. It's just common sense.

My reasoning for blocking the S/N from view, is so someone can't report it as stolen, as well as from other curios eyes.
I try to edit the full S/N out of the image without using a 'paintbrush'... I usually leave it blank, or like below, the S/N was cleanly replaced.

I am not worried about the ATF, I'm worried some bozo will try to paste my serial number onto his gun to avoid detecting he stole and/or manufactured it. Another kind of identity theft.
