carpet glued to concrete floor

We decided to pull up the carpet in our family room. Yesterday we started and discovered that the ENTIRE carpet had been glued to the concrete floor with some sort of adhesive. We are going to remove the carpet in strips(that seems to be the easiest way to go), but we don't have a clue about the adhesive.

Does anyone have any idea what to use to dissolve the glue. I tried using a scraper, but that will take a long long time. My DH thought maybe a heat gun. I like that idea best because there won't be any fumes...but I envision a gluey sticky mess.

Any ideas ??? :)
