Cleaning guns after shooting just comes with the territory. I'll normally just shoot one type when I go out for an afternoon, so the requisite cleaning afterwards doesn't become a chore.
It's very rare for me to postpone a gun cleaning until the following day. Dirty guns do not belong in a safe.
Lack of attention to prompt gun maintenance is indicative of; and can be behaviorally cascaded towards neglecting other unrelated responsibilities in life.
I'd venture to guess that most veterans feel pretty uneasy about taking uncleaned guns out for shooting. I shot last week w/ handguns that hadn't been cleaned after the last range trip and I felt a little scuzzy about it. lol
