As times change, so do people. I'd say more folks than not today, not necessarily the OP, buy a firearm and break their neck getting to a range. It's a buy now, use now society. Regardless of what the item might be. No cleaning, no inspection (in most cases they wouldn't know what they're looking at anyway), just blast away then freak when an issue arises. Blame the "***" firearm, etc. Insane but true. Don't even need to witness these shortcomings. Just read some of the questions in assorted firearms and automotive forums. One positive however. When questioned in forums regarding first cleaning, lubing, etc a firearm prior to initial firing, the majority of those who don't do a preliminary cleaning will admit to that.
