It looks uber cool and beats throwing your rifle down the driveway for the same cool effect. Or.....Tin Foil mentality.

Up here, you cant report a gun "stolen" without a valid firearms liscence anyways, so its pointless.... But I edit them out for pictures because I consider it a piece of personal information.



No real reason.


Besides, who really cares? When I do it try to make it look like it wasn't there to begin with, so it doesn't fuck up the picture, but I cant see why its such a big deal anyways...

How about the people that might have made a FTF purchase, and don't want the serial number of their "off paper" firearm being public knowledge?
