That’ll will never happen. It’s an all black lodge. An Elk Lodge no less. It is just a fluke that almost every black bar (an that lodge has a bar) are the scene of shootings and fights. oh hum

Thanks Emtronics, I was wondering why the Elks lodge was having soo many problems, that explains it for the most part.-Statistically speaking.
