As a Denverite, this is the most on brand thing for Shotgun Willies imaginable to happen. The place, like most strip clubs here, especially the ones on Colfax are known for shootings and other nefarious deeds like drug dealing and other gang activity. The reason amongst others why they keep shutting down. Places get wild here.

A lifetime ago I was a private investigator, conducting surveillance on a stripper that worked at SW's... this was like early 2000's. It was surreal.

Her claim originated in a lower-rung establishment in Colorado Springs, where she resided. We didn't know where she worked/went during the daytime.

She'd drive to Denver like she was on her way to deprogram a nuclear device, and time was running out. We're talking close to 100mph thru the gap (slang for the sucky drive between Colorado Springs and Denver) It took a couple tries and multiple investigators in different vehicles on mobile surveillance to track her to SW's (working while collecting on workers compensation).

Then I had to go inside with covert surveillance cameras to document her physical abilities/activities.

I distinctly remember going to the men's room to check my cameras and etc. A normalish middle aged man walked in, walked towards the wall opposite the door. Stopped about a yard shy of the wall, puked on the wall, did a pretty decent 'about-face' and walked right back out. He remained in the club.

The whole thing was horrible and terrifying. I was certain I was going to be beaten to death by the bouncers.

No one made me. Got evidence, got the Frick Out.

The Gun Club is... definitely that kind of place. Glendale is that kind of place. It's not a suburb, it's an enclave for... reasons.
