CCW with a kilt

[Dreadbelly]

I like my enemies close, so I can see the fear come into their eyes. And the sudden acrid smell their sweat takes on when their adrenaline kicks in. The sudden uncontrolable twitching of their muscles, expecially in their face as they are consumed by gut wrenching panic.

Er...

What? Nobody has ever been in life or death close combat before? Why ya'll looking at me like that?

There is at least one company who makes a Concealed Carry shirt with a built in hidden pocket for that purpose.

I live in Louisiana where the heat & humidity are BAD. I have to find some other way to carry than under a jacket.

I was out ta the gun club/range today and looked over some of the holsters and gear. I think, judging from what I saw, a modified "fly" holster could be rigged to wear between the aprons of a kilt. Position it to ride behind the sporran and it should work.

Dreadbelly, There are times when it is good to be so close you can hear the little weasel wet himself. To be close enough to watch the sweat develope. But there are also times when it pays to just get it overwith and get out.

I've tried several options, including neokilts. Josh did a great job on the neokilt, but what I've started doing most of the time is wearing a "normal" width belt underneath my kilt belt. I attach my favorite inside the waist band holster to the small belt and the large belt prevents printing. Then I wear whatever shirt I would if I were wearing jeans and the same rig. It just seems more comfortable to me to be able to wear the same setup whether kilted or not. It was an easy transition to carry kilted, I don't feel like I am going to lose control or have a difficult time with drawing a loose weapon from a deep pocket in a UK, or a from a sporran in a traditional. My favorite way.

I am somewhat supprised that no one had yet mentioned a sporran for concealed carry. As a leather hobbyist I would have little trouble adapting one for that use and the fact that no two sporran look even remotely the same, an unusual sporran could go un-noticed.

I had thought about it except that the sporran usually has a bunch of stuff in it already, and you can't stick your hand straight in for the draw without opening the flap first. And unless you have a Buzz Kidder sporran with a fantastic magnetic closure, that will rob several precious seconds.
