Morphology
The meaning 'a store selling firearms' is transparently composed from 'gun' (firearm) + 'shop' (place to buy goods): this item + place compounding pattern directly indicates a shop that sells the named item. This construction is common cross‑linguistically and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The compound gun shop shows a simple picture: a gun and a shop where things are sold. That's why gun shop means 'a store where firearms and related equipment are sold'.
