I've done my bit of open carrying in a state that allows it but it was done in a smaller town. No one cared and no one called the police. I don't think anyone even noticed there was anything on my belt. I've seen a gun on a guys hip going into an HEB but he looked like a police officer and no one cared. I think it depends on the area that you're in and how the media treats gun incidents in said areas. With that said anything related to firearms has the possibility to cause panic on a University and that I don't think will go away until every single university allows people to pack heat on campus.

Open carry has its advantages but it comes with more responsibility and more attention that frankly most of us don't need or want. I would support an open carry initiative here because I could see myself using it in certain instances but regardless of the law I think if you OC in a big city, in a highly trafficked place then you're going to alarm some people.
