How do you claen your gun. Yearly, or more often?

First I'd like to welcome you to HuntChat! So much information to be shared here.
I clean my weapons inside and out after I shoot them. I store everything in my safe and don't clean again until I shoot again. I live in Nevada (Reno/Sparks). The humidity is nill so I don't worry about rust
I've never heard of cleaning a gun by shooting it. Where does all the powder, copper, and lead go? That's like never changing the oil in your car will keep the engine clean.
