Default When should I clean my gun?

Hello Nother newbie question...

I will be shooting today without my dad. He dropped off his 243 yesterday and I'm taking her out for the first time today. Should I be cleaning the gun when I'm done shooting it?

I just want to make sure I'm caring for it properly so it shoots well every time I take it out and I want dad to know that I am taking care of his guns so that he can trust me with the proper care that the gun deserves. My guess <and I'm guessing> is that I should. I will be at my BIL and will have him help me if I need to be cleaning it cuz I don't have a gun cleaning kit but he does.

So. Should a gun be cleaned after it's fired, even just once?

Thanks for all the help thus far! You all have been so good to me.
