Why hide the Serial Number?

Peer pressure.

I just do it because I see everybody else doing it.

Also someone might see the filemarks.

I do it so that other ODT'ers don't make a fake bill of sale and have their BOS falsely notarized, then they send the "boys" looking for me to take back the "stolen" firearm. Since I don't have a bill of sale and never did, and the other guy does, he/she might have a case, except that possession is 9/10th's of the law (according to TV law and order and SVU, and such), so I will surely be still possessing it until they take it forcefully away from me. To avoid such possibilities, I simply hide the serial number. Plus, you never know when you might have traded into a stolen weapon... do you always do a background search on every weapon you trade into? If not, do you want someone to come knocking on your door to take it from you if it just happen to have been stolen in its previous life? If they don't see the number, nobody is the wiser, right?

Yup, it's so people can't report the gun stolen and have you arrested.

Why do people hide their tag number on their vehicle when posting pics here?

Beats me, nowadays when you drive down the road, you probably pass several cameras along the way, heck my dash cam does a great job collecting tag numbers everyday, not that I need it but maybe someday it will come in handy

Because it keeps you safe...

S/N -00001. It's kinda rare.

The 2 other Hi-Points and the Jimenez I own are tough to read because of the rust, I mean patina...

Cause that's how it's done on CL.

Because tag can be tracked to the registered address. I do not want to advertise my home location.
