Watch your photos

Just read this. I know we all like to show off our babies, but take extra precautions and delete the serial #. Big brother is always watching.

Appreciate the article.

I always cover the serial number with a piece of paper when taking photos so that you can’t use software to undo the obfuscation.

A few years ago an Anti-2A group copy one of my pictures off a website and used it on their "Ban Evil Black Rifles" Facebook page. That was when I stopped posting pictures of my firearms.

I’ve never once posted a photo of a firearm where the serial was visible or not blurred out.

I thought it was common sense.

Not even for this though, I always thought was if someone wanted to be malicious and report my firearm as stolen, saying it was theirs?

I would be able to prove it’s mine but not without headache. The burden of proof would be on me to prove ownership and not on them.

Seemed like a headache that’s completely avoided by 20 seconds drawing over my serial number and any of the millions of photo edits apps or a piece of electrical tape.

Doesn't everyone here already know this?
I mean, take it one step further- if you're really worried about confiscation attempts, why are you posting photos online AT ALL, unless absolutely necessary?
