Not really sure where one could go before 5:00 AM to buy a shotgun and ammo.

Sure sounds accidental to me. If I were to try to teach someone to 'shoot', I would also show up at their home at 5:00 AM with a loaded shotgun.

I suppose this would be more convenient than waiting for a range to open, or to maybe not have people sleeping inside the house at the time.
