I was told this game has guns. But I've been playing for hours and seen absolutely no sign of one. Where can I acquire a gun for what I had hoped to make into my badass new Wizard With A Shotgun?

I finally found him at the following location (he's right about where my party is, the bunch of green circles):
You can buy some in Gilded Vale smithy (Black Hammer Smithy) in eastern part of the village, BUT only after you complete The Smith's Shipment quest. You can also get them as random loot from enemies or lootable places like chests and barrels. But as Mad Scientist wrote it is a lot easier to just boost your Mechanics skill and have no worries over lockpicks at all.

There's actually a Unique Pistol available right on the very first map of the tutorial section of the game!
To find it, you'll need to have at least 1 point in Mechanics Skill after character creation. That means you'll need to be playing as a Cipher, Chanter, Rogue, or Wizard, OR, you'll need to select the Laborer, Merchant, or Scientist background. Any one of these options will give you at least one point of Mechanics.
Then, after you've been assigned a bodyguard and told to go look for berries, head for the far Southwestern corner of the map; the weird campfire, across the bridge near the stream:
Once there, take a closer look at the tent - you'll need to turn on Scouting Mode (i.e. Stealth), and move around in the area a bit - soon your character will notice something, and a new (hilit in purple when you tab hilight) container will appear:
You'll find The Disappointer! It... lives up to it's name, unfortunately:
