By your bizarre reckoning Harrods is "a gun shop".

Harrods is a department store. You should know what that means and the
historical origins of them. So yes, if you can buy a gun there, Harrods
is as much a 'gun shop' as 'Joe Bloggs Guns' of Hicksville, Texas, the
only difference being in the procedures of supply.

Of course.

If you want to buy a can of beans, Tesco is a bean shop. Televsion? Well
my local Tesco sells them - so it is a television shop. As a percentage
of turnover, both beans and televisions might be infinitessimal. Surely,
in so many ways, we accept that a shop is defined by what it sells
rather than some other classification that bears little or no relation
to what it actually sells.

onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
