So have you ever been afraid to wear the kilt.

[Deil the Yin]

I mentioned to mom and sister that I had every intention of dawning the kilt and going to see my old high schol football team play ball. After a momentary pause mom says that she wishes that I not do that because se says that people get jumped for no reason. Basically she thinks that because I wear a kilt out in public that a group of people will just run up and beat the crap out of me. This is not the first time this comment has been made by her. I know she worries as a mother. But is this fear of her's waranted.

Have any of the Rabble ever been in situations where they felt threatened.

Is this a problem around the world.

I'd have to say that in a world where the kilt is not the norm, it's a good pointe of contention for anyone looking for trouble...

I've never had much more than either positive or snide comments, though recently I thought I was gonna pull my gun on a guy. That I think qualifies for "threatened." He got up in my face, or at least inside my open car door as I was trying to leave a parking lot- a precarious spot with no where to run, and pinned down if he decided to get violent. To make matters worse, I couldn't understand what he was saying! I didn't know if he was drunk (we were in a package store parking lot) or on drugs or what. In fact, he picked up on my posturing (ie ready to draw), and it only got him riled up! Some how he backed down and I left without incident.

And just for the record, I would consider it wise to use such tactics (ie pulling your gun) only as the absolute last resort. A big fat legal head ache in the least, and likely as not you'll end up handcuffed and in a cell for the night for your trouble.
