I shoot all my guns. It is a personal choice. They are not made of chocolate but parts are old and a numbered part can break and be next to impossible to replace with a part numbered the same.
That said, if it brings you closer to your father to shoot it you might. If it is more important to keep the gun like it is today, don't. Rare irreplaceable ones should not be shot.
Nobody is a moron for making this personal decision...
For me shooting them gives me tremendous pleasure. Worth every penny it might cost me.
