New way to carry concealed...

[bdickens]

I'd like to be there to watch one of you funny guys make one of your cracks about "dresses" to some Scot.

Having said that, I don't think as a mostly Anglo-Saxon myself I could get away with a kilt. They're more for the Celt.

Kudos to the brave souls who've actually tried to keep this firearms related.

From the perspective of someone who's worn a whole lot more skirts than all of you put together...the cargo pocket carry sounds good; sporran carry is just another version of purse carry, although I can't imagine sporran-snatching as a crime to be concerned about; and forget the thigh holster. Do you REALLY want to carry a gun there?

(And no, my husband doesn't wear a kilt, but that's because we haven't been able to afford the full dress get-up for him...yet. I want to get him the full regalia for formal wear, and THAT is pricey. But Christmas is coming.)

Late late night host Craig Ferguson (Scottish) made a funny kilt/gun reference the other night when talking about going back home over the weekend for a wedding. He was talking about the difficulty in getting the traditional dagger through security.

"So there were a bunch of scottish men, with daggers and an open bar... WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!?"

"No, but really, it keeps everybody in line a bit. It's like guns in Texas; An armed society is a polite society."

I think he was being smug, but I was suprised to hear the quote on TV to begin with.

I think I will pass; do not want the attention. Besides, my loose-fitting cargo pants and shorts are very comfortable.

I keep waiting for the novelty PRICE to wear off. I can't see payin' more for a kilt than a good 1911. Maybe I'll get my wife to sew me one.

As for you fellas that laugh or question someones sexuality for wearin' one all I can say is "grow a pair Nancy boy".

And, if you're looking for something that breathes a bit more (I know, Breathes more Than a Kilt?!) Try the Arab Man dress, or "Dishdash." (All joking aside, ridiculously comfortable.)

I recently bought a Utilikilt original in tan. I wore it today to Walmart and to my weight loss center to get weighed in. Other than a trip to Blockbuster video and a friend's house, this was the first time that I had worn it outside of my apartment complex. I carried my XD .45 compact in a Safepacker holster.

I know people noticed the kilt but I was very polite and friendly with others (as always) and they were polite with me. At my weight loss center, I turned around so the counselors could view the entire kilt. No mentioned of the Safepacker. (I've worn the Safepacker with pants and no one has mentioned it then either.)

In a couple of hours, I'm going to meet three friends at a night club. I'll be wearing my Utilikilt. And the Safepacker, of course. I won't be drinking due to the weight loss plan I'm on. (297 to 197 with 17 more pounds to go.)

Would Chuck Norris wear a kilt? I think not!

Would you laugh?

Well - it that's true then you either went to HS in CA, are 6'6 and weigh 250# of solid muscle or yur gay.

Kids, especially teenagers, are the most cruel of humans. Wearing a kilt when I was in HS would have been a surefire way to get yur ass kicked before and after school and mercilessly teased during.

You misread my post. I never got picked on for wearing a kilt, because I never did. Mortech implied that a kilt was a sure-fire way of attracting girls, I simply stated that I didnt need it.

You misread my post.

Seems I did. Apologies...

I'm a Scot - and some of the comments in this thread are absolutely hilarious from that perspective. Do carry on, please

Edit: I haven't worn a kilt in years myself, but I'm also pondering how exactly I should carry my 1911 with it.

 

[Werewolf]

Picture this:

A guy's walkin' down the street proudly wearin' his kilt. He's packin' a 1911 strapped to the outside of his right thigh.

Dude walk's up to him and say's (giggling while he says it) gimme all yur money, princess.

Guy in kilt quickly reaches down with his left hand, pulls his kilt up around his waist so he can get at his gun and presents his sidearm.

Guy doing the robbing drops to his knees and starts laughing his rear end off. He's soon on the sidewalk rolling around busting a gut laughing.

Guy in kilt reholsters weapon and walks off muttering to hisself: Whatever works...

In the event I was included in your diatribe . . . I am not purely Scottish, but am 1/2 Celt. 1/2 Cherokee . . . I happen to be more "in-tune" with the North American side of the clan. I wasn't "making cracks," but am at liberty to say about this what I want, when I want to based on my ancestry. I've served with Scots . . . some are fierce warriors, some less so, not unlike any other ethnic group. I am also quite capable of "holding-up my end" in any spirited discussion, even after 60-years on this planet, in case you happen to "be there" (and I have done so on many an occasion). I learned by experience, not by reading, watching movies, or talking. Wear what you want . . . the measure of a person ain't on the outside.
