Yes,you should get rid of gall bladder calculus because it may cause emergency if there is infection or obstruction. Now a days,gall bladder calculus is removed laproscopically and recovery is very fast. Gall bladder calculus may also cause cancer if it is retained for prolong periods, so you should get rid of it earliest.
