personal decision.....period.
I have nice guns that I do not hunt quail with...especiall around badger holes(I fell in one once that was so big I was trying to learn chinese before I touched bottom). But, I will definatly hunt dove with them on a clear nice opening day.
I have a friend that will not even hunt with a very plain Citori, I have seen prettier wood on a pallet!
There are things you can do.
1. Do not have zippers on your vest.
2. Do not handle other things while you are handling your gun, within reason.
3. Never lean it against a vehicle.
4. Be mindfull of doors and hatches on back of 4x4s.
5. Always keep a Rem wipe or something like it handy to prevent surcace rust.
I am sure that there are many other hints like that but these guns are for our enjoyment only the individual that owns it can best decide how that is done.
