I live one county over from shelby county. Been in the area over 20 years. Used to watch the 6 o'clock news to see how were murdered that day. Not kidding at all. Shelby county is bad, but when you cross into Memphis you are in a combat zone. Weapon close, head on a swivel.
Have had a ccw since I turned 21 and carry daily. You know it's bad when I have to carry a pistol just to do yard work. And we debated on moving to Tipton or Fayette County, but the crime is moving that way also. Plus the whole area has so little to offer for young kids except the Zoo and children's museum. This whole corner of TN is a waste, which is sad considering the potential.
Never did like Tipton county. To many wannabe red necks up there. Fayette county is not bad yet. The 901 is moving that way but they tend to gather in town. Have to get out in the woods. I live at the end of a dead end road, if you turn up my driveway (gravel road) the first sign you see reads "If you can read this you are in range". Then you get to the no trespassing signs. There are plenty of gun shots during the weekend but that's just practice and fun shooting. I know everyone that lives on that road and we all watch out for each other. I have about 100 acres behind me that can be utilized if necessary 😉 (wink wink). Have to homeschool or private school because public school sucks. Even out there. I like it, been there a long time now. I will never live within any city limits again.
