Megan and I were sleeping in. They woke me up with the call. For what was taken, watch the NES Classifieds. Jack.

They could be in the Yard Sale section, if they had the barrel ends painted orange

what the heck does "experienced a flurry" mean? Was there snow that resulted in the theft? Was it a "flash mob?"

what the heck does "experienced a flurry" mean? Was there snow that resulted in the theft? Was it a "flash mob?"

In addition to the precipitation usage, there is this part of the definition:

noun: flurry

• a sudden short period of commotion or excitement.
  "there was a brief flurry of activity in the hall"
• a number of things arriving or happening during the same period.
  "a flurry of editorials hostile to the administration"

Nah, I'm just the piss-boy:

 

[IPSC_DRL]

well what firearms should I keep an eye out for?

They didn't say. Really useless information.

 

[FrugalFannie]

In addition to the precipitation usage, there is this part of the definition:

right. but usually the word flurry, as in your examples show, is followed by "of ..." as in "a flurry of activity/commotion/etc. The OP said just "flurry" which made me inquire.

Where, when and what is on Google. Mcphersons in Brentwood. Jack.

They weren't hit this week.

MacPherson was hit back in October. Recent burglaries at New Hampshire gun shops under investigation

You forgot the period before the closing parenthesis.

Methuen & Lawrence! Habla espanol?

One thing we were very aware of when doing Patti's Manchester gunshows was how close we were to those two towns. It was easy to spot the border jumpers and we were always more vigilant than usual - especially watching for distraction techniques. Sometimes other dealers weren't and paid the price.
