There is a set screw that secures the nut that holds the LAW to the receiver. I use Loctite on it. The RE attaches to the LAW the same as it would a normal receiver, so that should be staked, as usual

Funny you should asl that... I was wondering the same thing, did a little research this morning and concluded that it was a good idea.
So making plans to acquire a square-headed punch for that purpose.
Have many / any of our other LAW users staked the castle nut?
You don't stake the LAW folder the receiver. It has a set screw to prevent rotation. You can/should, however, stake the standard RE endplate/castlenut where it screws into the LAW folder.
I was using those for awhile and while I never had any issues myself, did see a few reports of them loosening so I pulled them off and have gone back to a standard end plate and castle nut. Sorry, I don't remember where I saw that but the risk wasn't worth the slight convenience at that point.
It's also worth considering price difference of the ratcheting gadget thingy vs a simple receiver endplate. Apparently, end plates can also be re-used. For disclosure, I still haven't staked my RE that's used with the LAW folder.
