Quite right, most people....

A vicious band of pickpockets in D.C. circa 1990 were all wheelchair bound. They eventually started snatching people, throwing them on the ground and taking their goods with a stealth factor near zero.

A lone individual in a chair , kilted or not, with a visible weapon may have garnered some attention anywhere those guys were known.

But at an event with a whole rack o' folk in highland dress, much less likely to draw any attention. Still for me, I would eschew the blade and go with the bottle opener or other "sgian don't" in a whole bunch of places.

Philosophically, that runs against my grain. But the point of wearing the kilt for me is to make me happy, not to slay any dragons. When we read about the posters in other parts of the US that wear one frequently with no hassle, makes us rethink our GPS coordinates...........
