In the US, even in Massachusetts, usage is "gun store" (store US vs shop
UK, as usual) if being casual, and "firearms" if being formal.  I have
never heard any (civilian) store be desribed as a "weapons store".
That's a word I heard only in the context of defense contractors and
usually foreign military sales.
