They think that somebody is going to write down the serial # then call the police department to report that somebody stole "their" firearm in hopes of obtaining said firearm.

I have started blocking out my engraved LLC name on any NFA item photos I post because all someone has to do is read my LLC name, go look up the LLC with the state of Missouri online and bam, right there is the address where all my stuff is stored.
Sure it is all in gun safes but I still don't want some diaper trying, you know? |

I do it because if I ever sell the gun in question I always get the buyer asking me to take down all copies of the picture because they don't want the serial number to their new gun floating around. It's stupid to me, but I just go ahead and remove them so I don't have to later.

Some people are paranoid beyond belief. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean somebody isn't out to get you." The first time I heard that I laughed.

As others have mentioned, it's just a simple thing to do and reduces to near zero any unforeseen opportunities.
If I post a picture without a SN, it just a picture of any gun that anyone may own (if it's a common model and not some bling'ed out gold plated death machine) If I post with a SN, now it's an identifiable firearm in my possession and in that configuration (SBR, pistol, rifle, etc). I will (almost) never have to worry about defending the content of that picture where the other person or "agency" would have to prove it was me, it was my gun, and I did whatever they thought I did. SN = direct line of sight to me (although with maybe a few hoops to jump through) |

I'm not one to post photos unless it's for sale, but I am more concerned with the known unknowns than what I think I do know. I have no idea how a clever scammer could misuse my gun's serial number, so I'm just not going to post that info. There's just no reason to do so.
There was a time when a social security number was not something to be too concerned about protecting... |

GIT OUTTA HERE FED YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ABOUT MY 87 AR15s, AMMO FORT, AND TRASH CAN OVERFLOWING WITH kALASHNIKOFS. ETA I've read here that there are instances of people stealing pictures to sell guns on-line -- when the "seller" doesn't deliver the legit owner gets a phone call or knock on the door from la policiaca. This is no BS. I know a guy that had a very nice last gen Supra. Cars are crazy money. He had his Ebay hacked and his car listed on his own account. Money order was sent to like NY or CA. I know it sounds crazy but it happened. It was ugly. End of story is he was targeted because he posted online about his car. Thieves tracked him down at a major event he visted he said he was going to. They took pisc of the car there and posted it. They wanted the $40K the car went for... Account it was transfered into was closed the next day IIRC. I know that is not a 1 or 2K $ AR, but it does speak volumes to the lengths people will go. $40K is a lot bigger payday than $400-$1400 and no ATF to deal with if caught. |
