They also cannot directly take money from customers while partially nude. Wesolick said that if dancers break the ordinance, the club located at West Main St. They are entertainers. Aaron has no control over them. In Wesolick's view, the ordinance doesn't guarantee due process for businesses under threat of being closed by the city. If the city succeeds in shutting the club down, "I'm pretty confident that we're going to succeed in the courts," Wesolick said. Rapid City Police Chief Steve Allender, however, says the city and Shotgun Willies don't see eye to eye on the adult business ordinance.
The department has been citing dancers for years and talking to Shotgun Willies about it, according to Allender. Leafing through a manila folder labeled "Shotgun Willies" in his office, Allender tallied up citations issued to dancers. Though he said it wasn't a complete list, Allender said police cited dancers at least eight times between and , and then the five in Rapid City police also observed at least half a dozen violations in the months after the adult business ordinance passed in Police did not issue citations for those, according to Allender, and possibly just used them as warnings.

Wesolick said he interviewed the dancer and customer involved in the Oct. Each denied the officer's allegations and said that the female patron was wearing three layers of clothing, according to Wesolick. Serenity Taylor, one of the dancers police cited in , said the club didn't make a big effort to keep dancers from violating the city's adult business ordinance.
She described Shotgun Willies management as giving only a "vague" description of what was improper. Management didn't call anyone out for straying from the guidelines, she added. Taylor, who worked there on and off for about seven months, said the business' switch to charging dancers a "stage fee" to work each night started only recently. She says she quit Shotgun Willies in November. Johnson purchased Shotgun Willies in May , around four years after the city adopted its adult-oriented business license.
The club, a two-story building next to a casino and across Main Street from the U. National Guard Armory, employs about 10 dancers.
In late , Johnson changed Shotgun Willies to a neighborhood bar, called the Dispensary, for a short time before reverting back to an adult dance club. Love words?
