Can somebody give the cons of posting pictures with your complete serial number showing?

I've posted pics to include SNs for years. I can't think of a real con other than privacy. But then again, the ones who want your guns don't really care what the serial number is...

I don't worry about if the SN shows! Some may think the numbers might be used for evil!

It's never bothered me to show a S/N, I recognize that some prefer not to, but I've never known why.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

All mine have nice legal paperwork/history to back them up, so no issues with showing serial numbers.

If "they" come to confiscate my guns, the serial numbers won't matter except to NRA insurance and they already have the numbers.
Personally, I don't understand the "hide my serial number" attitude.

thanks everybody,
Had someone tell me that if someone gets your serial number and turns it in as stolen and they seen it on the internet and you have it , it can cause you a lot of hassles. you, would have to prove it's yours and obtained it through legal means. I know all mine are legal, and not stolen.

Everything I own has gone thru a state approval and purchased from an FFL, I'm pretty sure that my guns are legal.

That is a thought Willy, but I think they would have to prove it was legally theirs, as well.

There has been auctions where they show just part of serial number and I email them because the number might make me a pair of consecutive numbered guns and they won't tell me. I've d heard on hear I believe that consecutive numbered guns is desirable to obtained.

One of my pairs only exists because the second was a consecutive number.

Same here! If I didn't know that Ed & Fred were sequential/consecutive numbers, I would have probably only bought one. But since they are, well, I had better not split them up, so I bought them both!
I think a lot of the whole "show the S/N" thing is a general misconception. As long as you have a legal paper trail that matches your S/N's, nobody can claim them as theirs & take them from you. Well, unless "THEY" come & try, then of course my guns will be pried from my cold dead...
And BTW in the spirit of this discussion, Ed & Fred's S/N's are...
