The entire point... you expressed your opinion and the steps you felt necessary to "protect yourself". That's perfectly valid.It's a waste of time.
I simply expressed my opinion that if there is no practical need for it, it's not required and could possibly have unforseen and undesirable consequenes... then I don't, personally, feel it's a good idea.
From experience, nothing ever good comes from oversharing, volunteering private information or making it easier for others to potentially exploit or use that information against you. Especially when it comes to transmitting it to the internet. You never know how something might come back and bite you, until it does, so as a habit.... I choose not to needlessly overshare. Call it paranoia. I call it being prudent.
I understand the argument that if you bought it under a 4473, they are already discoverable. I get it. However, not everyone owns firearms that have passed through an FFL. Why tell "them" what they don't know?
