My state (UT) sort of allows it (if the gun is unloaded, though cops are clueless and will harass you). If your state allows it, when was the last time you did it (if ever)? What were people's reaction?

Last time was at the beginning of November, in Yuma, AZ.
No one cared.
Before that, in July, I carried from Yuma, all the way to the grand canyon, where I disarmed. When I left the canyon, I strapped the revolver back on, and carried all the way back to the California state line.
No one cared. No one looked at me funny, no one called the cops. And, the highway patrol officer I smiled and nodded at smiled and nodded back, without so much as a look at my right hip.

Spring (or was it early summer, I can't remember).
I was with a group of other folks that were carrying openly. Nobody seemed to notice at all. In fact, several of us stood outside the restaurant and talked for over an hour without anyone saying or doing anything.

I've done it when the weather was real hot and I went into the Harris Tweeter for something. I felt very self-conscious and waited any minute for the manager to escort me out. Didnt happen though.
I am all in favor of a National Open Carry Day (where legal) just so people can see how many of us there are.
-
Not legal in Texas. I never tried it in Indiana.
-
I haven't tried it in Ohio though it is legal, but when I was in vermont camping in a national forest a fellow camper tried to convince us we were stupid for bringing a shotgun with us "please don't shoot the bears", and a park ranger we met on the trail couldn't keep his eyes off it, but just said "well I guess you guys are prepared."
-
Last time I open carried was on the family farm. Open carry is only legal in Texas on your own property or in your place of business or home.
If we had the option of open carry in this state, I probably wouldn't, unless I were on horeseback. Currently, I don't own a horse.

Maybe a year ago. People didn't react much.
-
all the time when I go hunting. Shotgun in hands and .357 on the belt.
-
If I don't need a cover garment - summer mostly - then open carry at home and around most of time
Public places tho - nope - even tho PA does not state it is unlawful (it just does not say it is lawful!) - too much chance of hassles plus - the better side of concealed being nicely covert - BG's just do not know!
-
Usually when I go out in the bush. The 1006 10MM is my field carry gun. Rides in a Bianchi accumold holster.
-
This afternoon. Yesterday evening. Sunday morning.
I carry openly about a third of the time, indifferently concealed about a third of the time, and actually concealed the rest.

Yesterday, on the way home from work. Stopped for gas(doesn't count, since I didn't get out of the car), went to the store. Picked up a turkey, a ham, 5 lbs potatoes, green beans and some butter. Stopped by WalMart for some allergy medicine.
Nobody noticed, or cared.
-
Yesterday and nobody really noticed. Although Sunday I got kicked out of best buy for it. That was the first time anybody really noticed that I carried.
-
Not since it got cool enough for me to comfortably wear a jacket. So, probably a few months ago.
-
Maybe last warmish day here, November, right before Thanksgiving. Sometimes you get some stares usually people from Illinois, but no one cares here.
-
In the place I used to shoot, it was OK to holster an unloaded gun if you wanted to step into the lav. But they closed down two years ago. Since then, it's been limited to the plinking range, and not much of that.
