Arms Dealers and The Black Market

A character of mine has a backstory that involves his parents being involved with the black market. Most of his family members were (and still are) arms dealers, while others are hitmen. Problem is, I'm not 100% sure how to go about this backstory.

The character, Lewis, is against his family's line of work and tends to not speak with them. He moved to a small town and lived a peaceful life with good friends and a great boyfriend. He did, however, hold onto a bit of his heritage by hiding away a white van filled with guns and bullets. He never used them, but in the story, he and his friend are going to need them. So of course, he has to tell her everything.

How she is going to react to this, how arms dealers work, how the black market works, and how Lewis keeps himself hidden are all things I need advice on. If anyone can help with this, please do!
