It seems like a lot of effort when a lock box would be more effective and have other advantages besides.android wrote:So.. I was giving this some thought and checked the regulations and I think what I came up with is legal.
GCA 1968 specifically prohibit defacement or removal or removal of serial numbers on firearms.
I see no prohibition on temporarily "covering" the serial number. In fact, a lot of pistols have the serial number under the picatinny rail on the bottom of the frame. A flashlight or any accessory would "cover" that serial number and it would no longer be in "plain sight."
Seems to me like some nice black stickers with "Removal Constitutes a Search" printed on them would be legal and prevent the SN from being in "plain sight" when disarmed during a traffic stop, yet does not violate the law.
I don't know if I would do it, but I know a bunch of people here seem to think this DPS policy is over the line.
Any thoughts?
