I have a few commeratives I bought because they were cheap. Outside of them and maybe a couple of relics or 100 year old antiques they are all in line to be shot if I desire. Unless you have a gun that is say, 40 years old, never been fired, still new in the box, maybe that MIGHT slow me down IF I had a similar to shoot. But if it was a desireable gun that was needed in a spot in my life (like SD) I would use it, make a part of me and feel thankfull I had it to use.
