Mongols MC colors
The 'Mongols MC' is a
motorcycle club located in the
United States and
Mexico that was formed in the
San Fernando Valley of
California in the 1970s
[1]. The club claims chapters in
California, where law enforcement officials estimate there are 200 to 350 members,
Nevada,
Oklahoma,
Colorado,
Arizona,
Montana, and
Mexico.
In 2002, members of the Mongols and the Hells Angels MC had a confrontation in
Laughlin, Nevada at the Harrah's Laughlin Casino, that left three bikers dead. Police intelligence reports indicate that the Mongols initiated the confrontation to bolster their status.

The Mongols are currently listed as an ''
Outlaw Motorcycle Gang'' by the
Attorney General of California
[1].
