Gun Makers were not making safe queens. They were making guns to be used. I do and it is funny how others respond. I hunt with a Winchester Model 42 Pigeon grade .410 which still looks like a 99% gun. I shoot game, Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clay with just about every gun I own, from DU guns, high grade guns, rare guns, field grade guns and a few that have been used hard and put up wet in their day. If I own a gun it is going to get shot unless it is unsafe to do so and then I try to improve it so it can be returned to service. I do not buy un-fired guns, to store in a safe for some later owner to do the same. To me that is like marring the most beautiful girl in the world and never sleeping with her. My guns deserve to be shot and I shoot them. If you want to hide your guns and never use them that is your right but if they end up in my hands I am going to shoot them enough for the both of us.
