Law enforcement is notorious for the inaccuracy,whether intentional or not, when it comes to OMG membership.I think 1500 members is a bit high. Granted,ever since Conan took over,he is expanding into other areas where the Club has not had a presence,plus they are patching ethnic street gangs who don't prospect,and in some cases buy their Colors.I would be more inclined to believe maybe ,1100 or1200 or so .The Pa#ans have always hovered around the 900 - 1,000 mark,but that was in years past. 1500 would be an average of about 36 guys in each of 41 chapters. Not saying it's impossible.I guess it depends on how you define members. If you're talking hang arounds,who get sponsored,became prospects,and earn the Patch,that's one thing. If you're talking small Clubs that are patched over or who have bought their way in,then hell,there might be 5000 members.
