Alaskan,
When you first came to X-marksthescot, you waded in to everyone here, in a rather irate manner, about obeying the ‘Scottish kilt rules’ as to what constitutes a Scottish kilt, despite the fact that there are no such rules, only reasonable advice. You then proceeded to tell everyone what the rules were for showing respect for the Scottish national dress, and then you informed us that you didn’t care for one of the rules so you intended to ignore it anyway. As you have effectively unilaterally removed one of your self styled rules, are you now about to unilaterally add a new rule of your own, i.e. that a gun must be considered as a kilt accessory? How strange, but I don’t appear to have seen any Scottish kilt book, or advice from a Scottish kilt authority, which mentions carrying concealed handguns.
Is a handgun a kilt accessory? If I were to open a thread in the kilt accessories section about the merits of different types of flat screen TV, someone would quite rightly tell me that the topic didn’t belong in ‘Kilt Accessories’, even if I protested that I always wore a kilt while watching TV. Neither would it belong in the ‘Kilt Advice’ topic. Likewise the subject of handguns clearly belongs in the ‘Off Topic’ section.
Remember your own rules/advice. Kilts were not designed to be worn when carrying concealed guns. If they were, provision would have been made for carrying them. Therefore would it not be disrespectful to the Scottish National Dress if you did so, or is this yet another of the rules/advice which you intend to ignore just because it suits you to do so. Personally it doesn’t bother me one way or the other if you wish to carry a concealed weapon, but it definitely cannot be classified as a kilt accessory.
We have a saying here in the UK. “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” I will leave you to work that one out for yourself.
