Yes, open carry does seem to make people nervous, especially hoplophobes. There's been a nationwide trend lately of anti-gun activists calling the cops on people who are legally open carrying in public. I guess their goal is to piss off the cops? Idk. But open carrying can also be practically an open invitation to get your sidearm stolen, in some places. So it's probably better all around to conceal.

Around here it's really a non-issue. More homes have guns than not in our area, by far. The cops know it and are comfortable with it. it's just part of the culture. And violent crime is almost non-existent. If someone called the cops here because someone was wearing a gun, two things would happen - 1, they'd be calling all the time and 2. the cops would laugh at them. :)
