Possession of a gun with a defaced serial number might be considered to be a problem by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives... (BATFE)... Better check their website and search for "defaced"

No alteration on the pistol. Also I just realised I didn't have my location showing. I'm a Canuck so BATFE would translate to RCMP.
