    Not that Denver is any massively bad place, but it does have a few rough areas, and I've never had any trouble while kilted, and I used to live in an area where gunshots were a regular occurrence (way *too* regular-you could almost set your clock by the 2am gunshots). There's actually a psychological effect on characters of that type. They seem to think "He's got the guts to wear that *here*? He must be one *bad* dude" That and they notice that the ladies look at you like a starving man looks at a prime steak...

    Or at least that's been my experience.

    I was kilted when my wife and I took a bus to and from the Seattle Space Needle back in October. Got a few looks, but no comments from anyone, not even the drivers. I sat up front on one trip and talked "transit stuff" with him during the trip.

    I'm glad I live where I do. I too occasionly here gunshots at 2 AM, and have contributed a few myself. But around here, they are most always the result of someone shotting at a fox or coon that is trying to raid the chicken coop. The rare illegal shots around here are from spotlighting deer. Of course, I don't have to worry about "public transportation", because there isn't any. The foxes and coons don't seem to mind whether I'm wearing a kilt or not.,
