Last Sat. we went to the Gun Show here in San Antonio. I was styling in the SWK Lamont and a Brotherhood of the Kilt t-shirt. Overall I'd say it was well received. The cop at the door urged me to moon the convention center, needless to say I declined. One vendor told me I couldn't wear an ankle holster with that outfit. He did agree when I told him I could but it wouldn't be concealed. One nice lady stopped us for a short chat and to comment on my sqian dhu tattoo. She was originally from Edinburgh and still had a bit of accent. Two fellows stopped me to talk about their kilts and kilt wearing in general. Two vendors talked to me at length about their clan/family affiliations. Several women made nice comments in passing while quite a few boys in the 12-16 yr range stopped and stared of followed me for a bit to watch. There were no negative comments at all, at least none directed to me.

Later at the Commissary, a young Soldier came up and said that me wearing the kilt just pumped him up and that he wanted on since he was Irish. He said he wanted an Irish Saffron so I gave him SWK web address as well as this address. Hopefully soon, there will be other kilt wearers running around Ft Sam Houston.

So far, folks in TX have been very accepting at the least and very interested at best.

YMOS,
Tony
