I have firearms that I rarely shoot, only because I have so many, but I have no reservations about shooting them. Only one true safe queen that I'll never shoot. My grandfather had a Colt 1911 US property marked issued pistol he bought from some Govt surplus deal. Its NIB mint in the original cardboard box with wax paper. Original application/approved forms, shipping labels and reciept for pistol, $17.35 with $1.85 shipping and handling. He never shot it. He wasnn't a pistol guy, but bought lots of surplus M1 carbines and other rifles and was meticulous about keeping records, receipts and whatnot. Anyways, he never shot it, my dad never shot it, and now that I have it, I'll never shoot it. Its just to neat. I have other Colts and various 1911's so no need really.
