Edward's 2nd point. For social purposes use a pistol that's good, but not a sentimental favorite. If it comes to using it you can plan on the police confiscating it, etching all the details of the case on it with an engraver, letting it rust a bit, and waiting until a year or so before you get it back. If then.
I speak from personal experience. Never had to use one for social purposes, but I've been through the rest of the routine. They ruined a perfectly good revolver.
