How can I keep my hotkeyed weapons after getting searched at a casino?

I love using hotkeys to bind my weapons to one button, but after visiting a casino the guards will remove my weapons (except holdout weapons).

Once I leave the casino I'll get my weapons back but my hotkeys will be unbound. This can be aggravating as I'll have to re-key each weapon whenever I step out of a casino. Is there any way to preserve my hotkeys when my courier is disarmed?*

*Also includes being disarmed in locations such as The Fort

If you're playing on PC, the answer seems to lie with the following mod:

Weapons in Casinos

The mod comes with some caveats, namely not brandishing your weapons in the casino, otherwise security will become hostile. If you're not on PC, or you're against using mods, you're a bit out of luck. The game is coded in such a way that it assigns the hotkey as a parameter of the selected weapon. Once that weapon is removed from your inventory, the parameter associated with your hotkey is removed too.
