Default Black powder?

I have a Parker that was made in 1902 (thanks to this site for helping me figure that out!). Hammerless, G grade, Damascus steel barrels. It's been in my family forever and I'm interested in shooting it. I just took it to a gun shop today and they told me to never shoot it as it was designed for black powder and that the way the Damascus barrels were made (spun?) made them risky? Is this right? Is there some modern load I can get easily to shoot sporting clays safely? Very intersted in shooting the gun that my grandfather and uncles have used so much.
