About the only excuse that comes to mind is complete unawareness of LE property marks and just jumping on the first number noticed--as you said, the path of least resistance. But LE numbers are usually clearly just that, eh?
The only places I would accept that unawareness would be in a pawn shop where an employee might not be very familiar with firearms, or a private seller who isn't familiar with firearms. Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: With Ruger I don't think there is any excuse, as to this day Ruger still puts the serial number in the same place. Actually, there is really no excuse with an S&W either, as those numbers have been in the same place for a long time, too.
