I'm no legal expert but if you are going to carry the gun you might want to keep the trigger stock!
Why is this I've known cops that had trigger jobs done on their glocks.
Yeah, but cops generally have 8 pound triggers put on. Putting a lighter trigger on is why I believe he warned against it.

Do they have 8 lb triggers on their personal carry gun so it more closely matches the characteristics of their departmental issued Glock.
I believe the departmental guns, when ordered as LEO guns, are "LEO" packages coming factory with a 8 lb trigger.
Not this again! First, a 3.5 lb. connector in a Glock pistol does not make the pistol "not stock." Glock makes the 3.5lb connectors and in fact, some Glocks come with them from the factory (G34 and G35). Moreover, simply reducing the amount of resistance required to cause the pistol to fire does not make the pistol less safe. Remember the four rules?
I have heard all the arguments against the 3.5 lb connector. Some argue that an overzealous prosecutor will use the fact that you installed the 3.5 lb connector against you or that the same will happen in a civil suit brought by the person you shot or his/her family. Honestly, I don't see such arguments being raised at all and, even if raised, they are easy to defeat. For example, the 3.5 lb connector allows me to shoot the pistol more accurately and thus, makes it safer because I am less likely to miss my intended target (the bad actor in a rightous shooting) and hit an inoccent bystander).
All my Glocks, including and perhaps especially the ones I carry most often, have 3.5 lb Glock connectors and gently polished internals. They have smooth actions and I am more accurate with them in their current conditions that when they were new and unmodified. I sleep well at night and have zero concern that the 3.5 lb connector will put me in a weaker position if I ever have to use one of my Glocks defensively.
The only reason I like leaving the trigger stock is just because if you ever do draw the weapon in a self defense scenario, you don't want to accidently discharge the gun before it's on target (during the draw). I just think that under high stress you probably will want the somewhat heavier trigger pull of the original factory one. Just my opinion though, if you train and practice with the 3.5 lb you may not have any issues.
I guess my theory is in a self defense scenario I what to be able to put the bullet exactly where I'm aiming. If it takes a 3.5 lbs. trigger to do that than I'm going home safe.
In a SHTF situation I doubt you would be able to notice a bit of difference to be honest with you.
