THE HISTORY
Shot Gun Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club was founded in May 2015 in Italy by the will of its founder, Big Joe. What began as a brotherhood of active and retired law enforcement, corrections, and military members who share a passion for customized motorcycles has grown into an international family built on loyalty, respect, and dedication.
We do not discriminate against anyone for ethnicity, religion, or gender. We embrace three simple and fundamental principles: dedication to family, work, and the Club.
Shot Gun MC does not seek quantity of members — we seek members of quality, who show the true traits of a brother in their everyday life, in their profession, and most importantly in the Club.
In respect to the experience accumulated over the years — AD IMO PECTORE (from the depths of the heart) — participation in our Club is earned with trust, loyalty, and above all, dedication of time.
Our concept of brotherhood goes beyond a blood relationship. Shot Gun MC does not give away patches, does not give discounts, and does not profit off its members.
THE MISSION COMES TO AMERICA
On March 20, 2018, with the blessing and support of Big Joe, Nacho and the Chicago chapter became the first Shot Gun chapter in the United States. As the United States National President, Nacho carried the same core values that Big Joe built in Italy — brotherhood, loyalty, and service — and planted them on American soil. Shot Gun continues to spread across the country, united by one mission and one standard.
THE CREED
Do not call me brother without knowing its meaning. Do not call me brother unless we are brothers.
Just because we have things in common does not mean we are brothers from different mothers.
There are simple rules to live as brothers: do not lie or steal from a brother, never backstab a brother, and always be on guard against others.
I know that if you have my back, be assured that I will always have yours.
Call me whenever you may need me and I will be there, even if I have to pass through closed doors.
I will never mess with your lady or your family, and they will always be safe as if they were my own.
I will fight for you or even give up my life for you, because I do not know of any greater love.
Those who say you cannot choose your family do not understand the meaning of our Brotherhood.
Through good times and bad, I chose to call myself a brother for life.
