Springfield 1911 RO Elite

You worried about getting held up by Walter Mondale?

I went through about 15 pages of this one again today and was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who carry a 1911!

One of these, S&W 3913 Ladysmith, Sig 239

Let’s see... two Glocks, two reloads, two flashlights, a folding knife, a leatherman, a tiny can of OC, a steel reinforced belt, and steel toed boots.

So everyone knows you should never post your gun with the serial number showing. Black out the serial number or don't it's up to you, just trying to help out that's all.

It's common wisdom to block the serial numbers, and I obscure mine if I post pictures. Although I don't really understand why it is necessary.

There's no real reason to block out any firearm serial number - UNLESS you're the guy that stole it

My daily carry changed from a P238 to a P365 with Grey Ghost lower.

Your giving people bad advice, but I'm guessing you know what your talking about? How about you do some research before giving out bad advice.

Why is it bad advice? I hear it a lot that we shouldn't let our serial out. But I never heard a reason why.

What harmful act, pray tell, do you think some internet bad guy will do with a random serial number pulled off such an image?

Do a drive by?

I deal with firearm serial numbers 6 days a week and have never had the ATF or any local, state, or federal law enforcement entity even hint at something nefarious done with a borrowed serial number.

This probably deserves a separate thread. We can either call it 'internet gun myths' or I can eat my hat.

I saw this with humor. I intend you no ill will, but I am curious what is you think/know to be wrong here.

All I have read ( on multiple forums ) is speculation about what could happen. I’ve never read of something that did happen.
