What should I do now... throw it in a lake?

There's way too much fuss about the locks. I carry two J's with locks and don't lose any sleep. I also have pre-lock and no-lock J's.
If it bothers you, just remove the sideplate and take out the locks.

Just take it out huh... it's that simple... anyone care to elaborate?

I go one step further on a self-defense gun and remove the remainder of the lock, leaving a hole in the frame.
Many people just grind down the nub on the flag with a dremel tool or remove the flag and use a grinding wheel on the nub, then reinstall the flag.
I just yank the whole *** out of there on a SD gun.
I would imagine some people remove the flag and epoxy what's left of the lock so it stays in the frame and doesn't move. I've never tried that.
Edit: I only do this on lightweight guns. On standard weight guns, I leave the lock in there.
EXCEPT for my Model 67 where the darn flag was grinding against the hammer!! I just took the stupid improperly aligned flag out of that one and left the rest of the lock in there. I don't use the Model 67 for SD though. (The hammer now has a "wonderful" deep scratch in it from that stupid flag.)
