Wear your sgian dubh with pride. Chances are most folk won't know what it is, and those that do won't be bothered by it.
Although organized crime (eg. Cosa Nostra) continues to be a problem, I was speaking more of youth gangs in our area that are an increasing problem. knives being their weapon of choice. (Mostly involved in drug trafficking) Knives are cheap and easy to get. When they are seen as a problem, lawmakers have knee-jerk reactions.
