Shields should be shown in Weapons or Apparel slot

Where Shields should be shown while browsing your inventory?
p.s.: We all know shields have armor traits but... give your honest opinion.

    It's Pathfinder all over again, are shields weapons or armour...

    I would say weapons TBH, as they are a weapon style. It sounds random but it works in my head.

    Well if you look at weapon skills:

    Two-handed, dual wield, bow, sword-and-shield. It makes sense to be a weapon slot.

    It's not jerking, pants, sandals and cloak/shield.
    Dragonborn, huh? Was it your ma or your pa that was the dragon?

    And you can do damage with a shield with some bash skills.

    This is something I've always wondered myself and think it can go either way. On one hand, they do add armor and are a defensive item. On the other, they are slotted in the same slots as weapon can also be used to attack. Either way, I digress.

    It's a tough call since they add to armor stats but can also be used to deal damage.

    They take weapon slots, is all the reasoning I need.

    Of course, the reasons to have them classified as armors... They give armor stats, have armor traits (goes for searching in guild stores too), use armor enchantments (again, guild store searches)

    I'm not very good at making a case for my vote, it just feels like something that takes a weapon slot should be in my weapons inventory, sorting-wise.
