E. Parrington, Gunsmith - 433 1/2 W Main Street
Edward Parrington is a skilled gunsmith who can repair or custom-tool many sorts of firearms. He reloads bullets to order and may joke about the time "some nut came in and ordered 20 solid-silver bullets, then never picked them up". He stocks a variety of handguns, shotguns, and rifles, though never exotic weapons such as elephant guns. Unusual weapons requests are referred to Abercrombie & Fitch in Boston.
Parrington knows ways to get access to illegal automatic and heavy weapons, but he would only indulge in such risky behavior for another Gun Club member who had a problem, such as Communist agitators at a factory, which calls for force.
New Jerusalem Gun Club: Parrington is president of the upper crust New Jerusalem Gun Club (dues are $75 yearly, by invitation only), which often meets at his shop. Andrew Reagan, the chief of police, is the treasurer this year.
Members have unlimited use of a shooting range northeast of Meadow Hill and invitations to a picnic in the summer and sit-down game dinner in the fall.
