It is not against the law to carry in the Beale St. district. It's against the law in Tennessee to carry past any restriction meant to prevent guns from entering -- signs, no matter the structure, have the weight of law, and police barriers with signs have the same weight. This is the case in Beale St., sadly, because nowhere else in Memphis does one need a gun more than on Beale St. The powers that be have convinced all of the establishment owners that they need to post their premises off limits to gun owners. In my experience, the police at the barricade will simply turn you away. If you somehow get past the barricades intact with your weapon, and are caught in one of the establishments, then you are in a heap of trouble.
