Can a heat gun be used to remove peeling paint from dry wall?

The paint is peeling off in strips, but in some places still has some adhesion. I was wondering if it was safe to use a heat gun to loosen areas and then scrap with a putty knife.Can a heat gun be used to remove peeling paint from dry wall?

I would just use a palm sander.Then a primer.
