just use another coroutine, here is some example code

  public class CooldownControllerExample : MonoBehaviour
  {
      public float attackCooldown;
      private bool cool = true;
  
      public void CooldownStart()
      {
          StartCoroutine(CooldownCoroutine());
      }
      IEnumerator CooldownCoroutine()
      {
          cool = false;
          yield return new WaitForSeconds(attackCooldown);
          cool = true;
      }
  }

call CoolDownStart(); when you want to, well, start the cooldown. assign attackCooldown in the inspector. if bool is true, gun is cool
