Funny you ask G50, I'm sitting in Memphis at a Barnes & Noble as I type this.

-The area you are talking about is fairly dangerous. In fact, the Holiday Inn next to the airport is nicknamed the "Hollow-point Inn" by my work colleagues! What you have to realize is that ALL of Memphis is fairly dangerous. This is a city with a corrupt government, corrupt cops, and a serious drug problem. That and it is a very poor place with little industry or tourism. I fly for a major airline and am based in Memphis, and there are usually a couple of nights per month that I have to stay there. They don't give me a hotel room in base, so me and 6 other guys rent a house from one of the captains. The location? 25 miles east of Memphis in Cordova! Even out there, you still need to lock your doors on house and car carefully, because home invasions/ car jackings are starting to occur.

Now; where is safe? Really, nowhere...but an area called "White Station" is relatively tame. Most of my colleagues who decided to move to Memphis live in gated communities in a suburb named Collierville. Germantown is pretty safe as well, along with Olive Branch, Mississippi.

If you are interested in moving to Memphis, then I would try those areas first. Another good idea is to get a concealed weapons permit and bring your weapon wherever you can!
