Can you explain why hiding the s/n is necessary?

In what way is it like a SSN? There is no database or online record that includes that sn and my name.

Just making sure that people don't get up to any mischief. I'm not sure what someone could do with the s/n, but maybe they could report the guns as stolen or create some other headaches for us. Better safe than sorry.

Somebody is going to file a false police report claiming the gun was theirs?

Even if they did, what problem would that cause me?

I read that reddit and those fucking places zoom in on the serial # so they can put a tag on where and who those guns belong to. Spez: read on the internet, so it must be true.

As I understand it, there is nothing anyone could do with that number.

There is only one place on the planet that has a record tying that s/n to my name. It is not even an electronic record, it is a single piece of paper, sitting in a box in the office of the FFL that transferred it to me. That piece of paper is not indexed alphabetically or alphanumericlly, but chronologically.

So without a search warrant to manually search the records of the ffl, it would be impossible to tie it to me in any way.

I am open to being corrected, but I require evidence not old wives tales.

I stand before you, educated.

My caution MAY not apply here, the sole exception.

How is that different than doing an image search for "ar15" and seeing pics of ar15s?

What difference does it make if I put up a billboard with my gun's sn on it? There is nothing anyone can do with that number.
