In Ohio, where open carry is legal, I have often worn a 1911 or other full size service pistol in an IWB holster, shirt tucked in behind the gun, and grip exposed above the belt. I've carried that way in grocery stores, Walmart, Target, shopping malls, convenient stores, everywhere. In years of doing that, I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times someone visibly noticed. 99.99% of people are clueless.
Carrying here in Texas, of course, I am more careful about keeping it concealed. But if my gun was accidentally exposed there is no way I would worry about it.
