Everybody has an opinion it seems.

I have been the curator of s couple of unfired guns and it was a privilege I took great pride in. I never had the inclination to fire them... I had other similar guns to shoot and hunt with.

But to be the curator of such guns is a pretty big responsibility that we shouldn't take lightly. There are those who say, "If it was mine I would shoot it as often as I could." forgetting or disregarding the fact that these are benchmark guns and are only such as long as the curators or caretakers honor that responsibility, not only to the gun but to the collecting fraternity of the future.
