I'm like many on both sides. I have a lot of BNIB weapons and many that I have fired and/or carry all the time. To each their own. They're investments or assets, however you look at it. Their your property. Do with it, what you want. I can afford to buy them, I can afford to shoot them. I can afford to collect them, That is what I worked for and saved for and earned my money for. The moment that someone else starts putting food on my table, thats when others can delegate what I do in my house. And, I respect what you do in your house.
But aren't you just the slightest bit curious about shooting them?
