5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt

Post by Catbird »

Via The Lawdog Files:
A couple of days ago -- well, 01 APR, truth be told -- my Inbox lit up with the news that 5.11 was making a Tactical Duty Kilt.

Mindful of the date, but still hopeful, I put my name in the "Notify me when this product becomes available" slot.

None-the-less, I was not surprised to learn that 5.11 was pulling a bit of an April Fool's joke. I chuckled, murmured something along the lines of, "Oh, well played, lads" and moved on along.

Today I learn (to my delight) that apparently the joke is on 5.11: They've had so many requests for the Tactical Duty Kilt, that they're going to do a limited-run of the kilts.

There you go, being a party-pooper and bursting people's bubble just when some were getting ready to part with their hard-earned money. :P :P :P :lol: :lol: ;) ;)
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

I'm still wrestling with the unspoken question:

If it's na' a tartan, is it a "kilt?"
