I'd argue that that doesn't matter. If the protagonist, in planning to buy a gun, doesn't know that detail, then there is nothing to prevent him from realistically entering a store looking for one. Him realistically leaving a store with one in hand is somewhat...less likely.

Two. I get the impression from one turn of phrase and the use of metric that the setting isn't the US, and while we have a law regarding shortened shotguns, that doesn't necessarily mean that the country where this story is set has the same restriction.
