No necessarily. I came from an open carry state (Missouri) and you do not see it there unless you are in the REALLY rural area of a farm town (pop 300-500 or less) and then it is very rare.

There was an incident just a few months ago in my home town (population ~25K) where an individual was in the grocery store and open carrying a revolver. While not against the law, it prompted quite a few calls of 'Man with a gun' to the police. This included a call from the store management.

When the police arrived, they asked him to please go out and put the gun in the car as he was upsetting the clientèle and management. He started yelling 'You can't have it, it's my gun' and walking away from them in the store. They were finally able to convince him to leave. AFAIK he never showed back up at any other businesses.
