Probably a stupid question...What happens to the minifigs with the guns

Not a stupid question.  We have one of these, an adventurer fellow with
one tucked in his belt.  After some discussion with my husband I've left
this in the accessible part of the Lego collection.

Hehe, of course you can always remove the gun from the torso <blasphemy!!> as
I did here:

Egads!!! I hope it was an accident!!

Since I'm right handed and have been building models of all sorts since I was
about 6, my left hand bears, at last count, 14 scars of various sizes from
self-inflicted wounds. This includes my pride and joy, an inch and a half scar
on my index finger where I accidentally tried to remove it when I was 11.

My hand-eye coordination is infinitely better now (thank goodness), but I too
can attest to how nasty these things can be. My hobby tools are always locked
away when not in use.
