Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson

I agree about using a heatgun to free up loctite, never had an issue that way. It's also handy if you need to make a slight adjustment to a kydex holster.

The gunsmith didn't want to try and remove them for fear of damaging the pistol, so you can be pretty sure I'm not gonna try either.
