This is from long-time friend and colleague, Mas Ayoob:

"...there have also been cases where officers near MRIs have actuall y had their guns deactivated. The pistols become magnetized to the point where firing pins cling to their channels and thus lose so much forward impact tha t they fail to fire rounds. It's recommended that anyone who has been near an MRI

with their weapon immediately take it in for a range/armorer's check. =9D

Comment: I was unaware of this. Thanks for the heads-up, Mas!
