The wife and I went to a movie yesterday, I had on my kilts and had my good old 49 in the equivalent of a cargo pocket. It just felt out of place. I had a 4" folding knife in the front right pocket, but a dirk would have been more appropriate! I have an IWB holster for pants, but this kilt won't stay up with the leather holster. Anyone have a reasonable solution?

My worst incident of self defense was at this same theater (I almost had to draw and shoot a young punk in the men's room once) so I won't go there without a firearm!

I do. At least it seems reasonable to me. You will likely disagree.

Ditch the kilt and wear pants.



Don't take my recommendation too personally. If a guy wants to wear a skirt for whatever reason that's his business. I'm only suggesting that if going to the movies means wearing pants for a couple of hours makes more sense then maybe that's the solution.
 
Buy a sporran.

I was going to suggest the pouch mentioned above, though I didn't know what it was called.

You might also want to look into getting a belly band or Kangaroo holster. Depending on what you're wearing a shoulder holster may be another option.

A thigh holster (not the tactical kind, the kind women use under a dress) might be an option.
 
The only chick that matters to me, really digs my kilts! The Sporran hangs as low as the cargo pocket, so it has the same problems drawing. The Sporran frees up my very limited pocket space, so I'll probably be using one soon.

Nobody, has ever had the bad manners to say I or my friends were wearing a skirt in person. I dought they have the durability to say it twice!

Personally I've never had the nerve to wear a kilt even though I'm of Scottish descent. I do know a couple of professional pipers that wear them when they do funerals and to my knowledge no one has ever made any rude remarks to them.
 
Regarding the theater...Just my opinion, but unless there was a trend of violent encounters at that theater/neighborhood, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it was an isolated incident, I wouldn't necessarily let that keep me from going to that theater. If I did that with every place I visit, I'd never go to the bank, grocery store, gas station, etc. Just keep your wits about you, be as prepared as you can be, and try to choose wisely when picking the days and times you go there.

But if this was one incident in a series of them, or that theater/neighborhood has a reputation for being in a rough part of town, then yeah, I'd agree it would be more prudent to pick another venue if possible.
