Yes, the fact there is no air in space doesn't matter, because inside the case, the gun powder contains oxidizer wich allows the reaction to occur. but because your in space and due o newtons law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" firing the gun would send you in the opposing direction, but the bullet wouldn't stop going!
