Going to Beale Street in Memphis.

[stringer57]

Flying into Memphis soon for a little R&R with the wife. Staying on Beale street, only hanging out on Beale street, then back to the airport in about a 48 hour period. My research indicates as of 2013, all merchants on Beale had no gun signs posted and that police bar handguns walking in the street and have metal detectors. Seems hard to believe! My states CCW is valid in TN. Can anyone give me some more current info? I may not go through hassle of checking it if I can't carry it at all. Appreciate all comments.

I haven't any first hand knowledge but the part about police in the streets using metal detectors sounds to be a bit far fetched, can you say illegal search? if you possess a the permission to carry card and you are properly concealed (despite TN allowing OC)
I wouldn't have any worries about carrying in public. be aware that no guns signs are valid and ignoring them could have legal ramifications.
