Isn't announcing you've never fired a gun in a fictional work an example of Chekov's Gun? By announcing it the narrative is setting up the "dramatic tension" ahead of when the character is confronted by a situation potentially requiring firing a gun or killing someone.

Didn’t he build a shit ton of bombs to “solve” various problems though?

I never said he was a pacifist, he just doesn't fire guns
