As someone who came from a state (Missouri) where open carry is not illegal (anomalous), you need to be semi discreet about it. The big advantage is you can strap on your hip if you head to the range without repercussion of it not being concealed. You can leave it openly displayed on the car seat, etc.

However, you really don't want to go on your daily shopping trips to the stores as it can still be considered 'brandishing or displaying in a threatening manner'. It is just not proper etiquette to do the ‘Wally-World Stroll’ with a S&W 500 hanging on your hip. It draws a lot of attention and makes too many non-gunners uneasy. There can also be local ordinances that prohibit it, as well as you being looked down upon by the store folks for running off their customers.

While I am for open carry being legal, you need to use it sparingly and not blatantly wander through the public realm carrying openly.

So to answer the question, I would if I was not exposed to a lot of non-gunners or big crowds.
