I'd say generally I will wear my kilt anywhere. Although I do see your point that sometimes you just want to wear your kilt and be left alone. Unfortuantely it's not really an option. The only option you have is to do what you did, and wear p@nts.

I had a bachelor party to go to this last weekend. I did not wear my kilt for two reasons.

1- I was not the bachelor and did not want to take any attention away from him on his night. Since the kilt has strong powers, it was best they not be used on me this night.

2- The bar we were going to prior to the club, was in a very bad part of town, with very a very bad clientele that I was about 90% sure someone would pick a fight with me if I wore my kilt there. Rather than invite disaster I chose not to wear it.
