I personally for the first time in my life have specifically chosen to fore-go cleaning my daily carry, well, daily
i clean mine after i fire it before i carry it again. I have heard stories of someone being accused of pulling their gun and firing it at someone when they did not. Cops roll up and check your gun. A cleaned gun don't lie if it comes down to proving you did not fire.

That seems a bit far fetched.
Even if that were to happen, can you cite any examples of police investigators or expert witnesses or whomever inspecting a gun from an alleged firing and determining innocent based on observing that there is no way it had been fired since it was cleaned??

More than half of "cleaning" a firearm is inspecting every part for abnormal wear or damage. If you're not doing that then one day you will be very surprised when your gun fails to feed, fire or eject.
If I haven't fired i , it gets a good wipe down once a week and a full visual inspection, and I also change out the ammo.
