There are many areas of Memphis you need to openly carry 2 side arms and an AR-15 if you get out of your APC.bauer wrote:While I don't bleed orange, I grew up around and attended the University of Memphis, I will always love Tennessee. My parents and siblings still live there and we travel back to the burbs of Memphis quite often. Glad to see that the state is attempting to make strides towards giving citizens their natural rights back. That being said, I personally would never open carry there or anywhere for that matter especially not Memphis proper.
I think this will meet a ton of opposition. When the bill to allow concealed carry in restaurants that served even small amounts of alcohol was introduced there were numerous restaurant owners that made sure to rally together and post their restaurants off-limits for concealed carry. While it will more than likely pass due to the large amount of unincorporated and rural areas in Tennessee, I think this will meet the same death from a business standpoint and cause a lot more signs to be posted to prohibit open OR concealed carry.
