By this logic, I suppose you never change the oil in your truck? Your truck is a tool, no? Not something that should be maintained for peak performance right?

If it's a gun that will sit in the safe for a long periods of time like the 7mag, then I clean it before I store it.
1911- every single time I shoot it I clean it. It only takes about 5-7 mins to clean it so why not?
Glocks, maybe once a year and that's with less than 1000 rds.
Shotguns - at the end of hunting season and maybe a few times in between with a complete strip. Spray CLP inside the action and run a snake after every hunt and wipe the outside down with CLP.

good one lol... im not sayin i dont clean them. but once every 5-6 years. i dont clean every time i use it or even every season. Unles they get rained on then i do... other than that i may clean every 5 yrs or so. some have never been cleaned. With that said i take care of my guns and all look like new. I dont abuse them

Do you change it every time you drive it? I don't, I change it on a schedule, unless it's going to be put up for a while.
