gator,

First, to protect yourself, you must report that gun as stolen. I assume you purchased it legally as it could never be traced to you otherwise.

The gun owners I know have their guns insured against theft and would immediately report any theft to the authorities. Their insurance company already has serial numbers and pictures of the guns. If your gun is insured properly your friend's service is redundant as far as I can tell though not a bad idea. As to her keeping the info confidential that will only last until someone gets a warrant. Most insurance companies will require a very good reason if not an actual warrant before divulging any info.

If you buy a gun from a licensed dealer, your name and the gun's number are already known to the authorities, immediately reporting any theft should protect you. Those who buy from an individual may be well advised to register with a service like your friend's.

Hope this helps.
