When I was first taking my CCW in Texas several years ago our instructor told us "never carry a gun you can't afford (or don't want) to lose. I guess that has sort-of stuck with me. I'd hate to lose my Mini-14 or my .357 lever action cowboy. I also have some "keep sakes" I'd hate to lose. So I take these to the range when I want to shoot them. Same goes for my OC or CC handgun. But I have started OCing my 1911. I'd be heart broke if I had to use it in an emergency and then had it confiscated as evidence and never got it back. But on the other hand, shooting it is like an extension of my hand and I know without a doubt if I did have to use it I wouldn't miss.
