What's with hiding serial numbers?

So what? No one's stopping you from publishing the serial numbers of your guns. And probably most of us who choose not to need no reason other than "it's none of your business."

Personally, I have no need to justify my choice to not share private information with a bunch of strangers in cyberspace.

LOL.... No need to get mad at me.
I simply asked if this was tin foil hat fodder or based on actual facts.

As far as I'm concerned, it's neither. It's just old fashion privacy.

There ya go
That was better.

I personally don't see serial numbers on my guns as something to be protected. I have all my paperwork showing exactly where and when my guns were purchased. If some hack wants to try and call one or all of my guns his, it'll never fly.

ya but they may cause you unneccessary headache.
Just like someone stealing my identity and charging stuff on my credit card..
In the end I'll work everything out but it would be pain where the sun don't shine...

And I agree 100% with you!

That's why I asked if anyone had any facts to show that guns are being stolen or confiscated by would be thieves calling them their own.

If it were shown to me that it's happening then I'd be concerned.
But something tells me would be thieves have no desire to try and steal guns from honest gun owners via the police and court system.

WINNER!!

I never asked anyone to "justify their choice".
I simply asked if we had proof that would cause concern.
