Then they drove to Andrew's grandfather's home and broke in through a basement door, using a crowbar. They took four handguns and three rifles...
...corporate image, executives reached an interesting conclusion: too many swooshes. "There has been a little bit of an internal backlash about just the number of swooshes that are out there," says Parker, who is the keeper of the brand image.
