Question 1

What is the meaning of your club colors?

Accepted Answer

Our Club Colors represent common elements of our Member service  organizations and the bonds that tie us together as Brothers and  Sisters. The center patch contains The Shield, a universal symbol used  by the military, law enforcement and firefighters/ems as an emblem of  our service. The Black Slash represents the black banner we all wear on  our shields when a Brother or Sister has given their life in the defense  of the country and its people. The Red Field represents the blood of  those who have sacrificed all in the name of freedom. The Lightning  Bolts represent the swift and sure response in defense of our Brothers  and Sisters in time of need. The Skull is the universal symbol of bikers  and its prominence represents the common bond of our shared passion for  riding motorcycles. Finally The Banner at the base of the shield is  written in Latin “Libertas Vel Mors” and states our core belief –  “Freedom or Death”
The MFC does not claim territory by displaying a lower rocker on our  Colors. Our lower rocker designates only the state in which the Chapter  is located. The lower rocker will never indicate that we encroach on the  rights or freedoms of others.
Wearing our colors is a rite of passage, a journey that includes  earning the respect of our members and the community at large. All  Members of the MFC are expected to maintain the highest standards of  character and integrity as they represent the Club in everything they  do. This is at the heart of what that MFC sewn into our vests stands  for.

Question 2

Is the MFC a 1% club?

Accepted Answer

No. The MFC is a group of intensely patriotic Americans that share a  love of country, motorcycles, camaraderie, and public service.
Because the MFC has Members that are law enforcement with arrest  powers and military officers with security clearances, we must maintain  the highest standards of conduct. Our Members are held to account for  their actions and we actively strive to hold the trust and respect of  our communities. Participation in any organization that recruits or  maintains members who endorse or promote criminal activity is prohibited  by our By Laws.

Question 6

What is the difference between a riding club and the MFC?

Accepted Answer

One of the great benefits of membership in the MFC is  trust between members the mutual confidence it inspires. We are not  merely a club of individuals with a common interest. We are a  Brotherhood, bound together by our love of country, commitment to  service, and dedication to each other. Membership in the MFC means  acceptance into something larger than self and knowledge that no matter  what the circumstance, your Brothers and Sisters stand with you.
Our standards are high, and we look for people who  understand and practice the principles of honor and integrity in their  daily lives. It is the foundation on which our Brotherhood is built and  the bond between all of our Brothers and Sisters. Earning the right to  wear the MFC colors, like our service branch uniforms, is a matter of  great pride for each of us.

Question 7

Why does the MFC require members to have and maintain a concealed weapons permit?

Accepted Answer

The MFC was founded by and will always have active and  retired law enforcement officers as its core members. As such these  members carry firearms and are prepared to act in defense of themselves  or others. The Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill  of Rights make provision for the defense of the Country by Civilian  Patriots. This includes the right to have and bear firearms.
Therefore all members of the MFC carry firearms, either by  virtue of their assignment as law enforcement officers or through the  provisions their respective state’s Concealed Weapons Permit Law. Our  members stand ready to defend themselves or others according to the  provisions of applicable law.
Members of the MFC understand that they must govern  themselves according to the high standards of our service branches and  will be held accountable for their actions.
Anyone with a love of motorcycles and a desire to be part  of something larger than themselves, should consider joining the MFC. We  are an organization that demonstrates loyalty, camaraderie and  brotherhood among our members. We are committed to the freedom of riding  motorcycles, charitable public works that benefit our community and  always demonstrating support for those American Heroes who have and are,  defending the United States of American both at home and abroad.
