I've never actually heard of a case where somebody was sued, imprisoned, etc. as a result of a shooting with a safety like this removed. It seems like even if you did remove the safety, if the situation really was justified, the removal would be totally inconsequntial. Plus, unless the prosecutor is really knowledgeable on gun design I don't see how they'd even neccessarily know (or know to ask whether)a safety feature had been removed.
