The series follows the club's Mother Chapter, the '''Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original''', or '''SAMCRO'''. The chapter's current President is ] and his Vice-President is ]. Their primary business is importing illegal weapons and selling them to drug gangs in the ], along with protection runs for local businesses by protecting valuable truck shipments from hijacking.

===Formation=== |
|
|
The club was formed in 1967 by ] and ], following their return from service as paratroopers during the ], as a form of social rebellion. Not long after its formation, the club turned "outlaw" and by the early 1970s, it began to evolve along the lines of the stereotypical ] biker gang. The first chapter was founded in ] and originally had only nine members, six of whom were ]s. Over time, the club expanded throughout ] and, eventually, the ]. The club's first foreign chapter was opened in ], and there are now charters in ], mostly in ]. |

===War with the Mayans and Nordics=== |

Season 1, set circa 2008, begins with the Sons of Anarchy finding their warehouse, where they store weapons, being burned down in ]. They suspect that the ] have destroyed it and stolen the weapons, and retaliate by stealing the guns back from an industrial storage warehouse in ]. The attack does not go as smoothly as anticipated, however, as three Mayans and a member of the Nordics turn up while they are inside the building. They then have no choice but to kill them and escape. They also retrieve their weapons which were being stored there, and burn down the building. Meanwhile, the ] are impatient that their shipment of guns has been delayed but grant the Sons of Anarchy a number of days to deliver them. Almost simultaneously, the ] begin selling ] in Charming, prompting a swift and violent response from the Sons of Anarchy.<ref></ref> |

], the Chief of the Charming Police Department, has always got on well with the Sons of Anarchy during his time in charge, and even employed them as muscle at times. However, he is dying from cancer and will retire at the end of the month, handing power over to his Deputy, ], who is overtly suspicious of the SOA and will almost definitely begin an investigation into the club. To warn Unser to keep Hail off their case, the SOA hijacked a shipment that they were supposed to protect, and threaten to hijack more. As a good will gesture, they gave the contents of the truck to the local ] as their guns were late to be delivered. To distract the police from their activities, the burnt down warehouse (where the police found two dead ] ]s and a number of discarded guns) in particular, the SOA acquire two dead bodies from the local morgue and set them up in a fake shoot-out. The set-up shooting is made to look like a racist murder involving the Nordics.<ref></ref> |

Local businessman ] goes to the Sons of Anarchy after his 13-year-old daughter was raped at a carnival and asks them to hunt the rapist down and kill him, in exchange for money. The SOA refuse the money but insist that if they catch him, he must carry out the punishment himself. They find out the rapist is one of the ], capture him and bring him to Oswald who tries to castrate him but can't bring himself to do it. Clay Morrow then carries the punishment out, but wears gloves whilst doing it. He then frames Oswald for the crime, as he was about to sell off much of the land around Charming to big business and housing, much to the disgust of the SOA whose reign over the town would be challenged.<ref></ref> |

When a ] agent arrived in Charming and began investigating the club, they moved their weapons to ], where their brother club the ] are based. Clay Morrow sent Jax Teller and ] to inform the Devil's Tribe that the Sons of Anarchy were patching over them. On the way to Nevada, the pair came across a group of Mayans on the road and were involved in a chase and then a shoot-out. Meanwhile, ] and ] were stuck with the task of stealing a truck to transport the guns in. They drugged the guard dogs of the truck yard with ] and then broke in. The drugs only made the dogs more fierce, however, and Tig was persued aggresively as he made his way to the truck. When Jax and Bobby arrived at the Devil's Tribe clubhouse and informed them of the news, their President, Jury, was not pleased but eventually accepted that it was the best decision for both clubs. Clay travelled to Indian Hills to perform the patch-over ceremony, and brought a number of Sons of Anarchy ] members as protection incase the Mayans retaliated for the earlier incident. The Mayans did retaliate, by attacking the clubhouse and a shoot-out ensued, during which Jury was shot and injured.<ref></ref> |

] and a number of other imprisoned SAMCRO members have been protecting Chuck in ] ]. He is wanted by the ] because he stole money from them, then informed on a number of their members when he was arrested. SAMCRO also agreed to protect him on the outside when he was released, in return for information on where the Triads keep their money. The Sons of Anarchy intended on waiting until the restaraunt, where the money is stored, was closed until they raided it, but Chuck's frequent unconsious masturbating was unbearable for them and they decided to raid the restaraunt straight away. However, just after they stole the money and some counterfeiting plates, the Triads turned up. Instead of starting a war, both gangs decided to make a deal; SAMCRO handed over Chuck and the plates and the Triads let them keep the stolen money. Meanwhile, ], a disgraced former SAMCRO member, went to Jax and asked him if they Sons wanted in on his deal selling stolen car parts. Jax accepted and invited him to the clubhouse that night. This was a set-up, however, to punish him for not having his SOA tattoo removed after being disowned by the club. At the clubhouse, they tied him up and Tig used a ] to burn off the tattoo.<ref></ref> |

Jax and Piney sold five ]s to Nate Meineke and his ] ]. They then used these guns to ambush a prison convoy and free one of their members, Frank Cison. A police officer and two bystandards were killed during the assault. Meineke dropped his ] at the scene, and his last calls had been to Clay Morrow. When the ATF found the phone, they arrested Clay and raided the clubhouse. Clay was later released because no evidence was found, meaning he could no longer be kept in custody. Meanwhile Jax, Piney and ] decided to kill Meineke and his gang to stop them "snitching" if they were apprahended by the authorities. They pretended to sell them more weapons. The boxes of guns were actually filled with explosives, however, and the militia loaded their trucks with them. All of the militia were killed when the bombs were detonated.<ref></ref> |
