The only time that I OC is if I'm on my farm or doing something shooting-related. And for some reason, I haven't ever come across someone who OC'd. I support the right to OC, but I don't do it in public.

To each his own. I prefer concealed because I don't want to be a target (like surjimmy said), for one thing. OC does make some folks uncomfortable when they see it. I'm not trying to make anyone uncomfortable. I just want to protect myself and my loved ones. OC IS more comfortable, but about the only time I OC is during deer season. Then, I commonly have a .45 Colt on my hip as a secondary firearm. I have yet to find an IWB holster and position that I feel is truly comfortable.
I carry IWB 90% of the time. What I most appreciate about OC being legal is that I don't have to be too concerned if, for instance, I reach for something on high shelf and my shirt/jacket/etc. pulls up and exposes the grip.
I occasionally do, but most times not. Mostly when I am working on the land and have to run to the local store to get fuel or a 12 pack. Most times its behind a shirt and you cant really see it anyway. I have yet to walk through Wally World open on my hip. I see no reason to do this.
It took me around a year but I moved to owb just covered up with a shirt tail.
But if I have camo on I'll probably be carrying something in plain view.

I support the right to OC and have no problem with those who do. Myself, I always carry concealed. That's just my preference. I would rather not draw any attention.
I also support OC, but I carry concealed.
I do both, but it depends on my dress and location.
I been open carry, over 15 years in other states. ( AZ / AK ) Open carry is no big deal, in those states, people have accepted it!
I wished more people opened carry............

What has been interesting to me is that here in Colorado, open carry is legal without a permit just about everywhere but Denver County and the city of Denver. In the time we've been up here since July of 2014, I've maybe seen a total of 5 individuals carrying openly. (Concealed carry here does require a permit.)
We are fixing to move to Oregon for at least a year, maybe longer, and when I was warned about being around the hipsters, I checked Oregon out as well. It appears that they also allow open carry without a permit.
While I had a permit when living in Oklahoma, I didn't apply for one here in Colorado. Oregon has a cheaper permit, so I might apply for one there. I would also prefer to carry concealed, for the same reason as a couple of others stated. If anyone is going to be surprised, I want it to be the bad guy.
