And this was the nice part of that day.
Had to go for work and it did not fail me. The place is crowded with tourists and sharks be swimming the waters. Our group got “interviewed” twice by unsavory characters, but both were smart enough to realize one was not buying their bullshit.
Also saw two cops from an unknown LEO agency carrying their duty Glocks in Serpa holsters. Is that still a thing?
This sign caught me by surprise:
And it is where is it located:
I remember reading many years ago businessmen in Memphis declaring Beale Street a Gun Free Zone and putting signs everywhere, but it was more of an anecdote than anything else. Suddenly seeing it in real life was a bit of a shocker. Oh yes, this was the day after the Covenant School shooting so my brain immediately was thinking “What a nice play to be caught with a copycat asshole wanting to be famous.”
There is a bill in the legislature aimed to eliminate most of all these idiotic signs. I hope it get the necessary upgrade and approval.
Memphis also banned “colors”, motorcycle club patches… stupidity is everywhere. Morons still think putting up a sign will protect them..
Well … At least the panhandler was honest about what he’s going to do with the money.
