If you live in an open-carry no-permit required state....

No.
I thought we would, but if people are carrying I have not seen them. Rural Texans often have rifles in the truck for legitimate reasons.

This is the laws for my state:

Vermont does not require permits to purchase and has no firearms registration. Both open carry and concealed carry are legal without a permit in Vermont. Any person 16 or older (although federal law requires the age to be 18) who can legally possess a firearm is allowed to carry openly or concealed.


ETA we have updated some purchase laws that just recently (or will soon) went into effect that changes somethings and not sure that my above copy/paste reflects those laws.

I have very rarely seen someone open carry, but I also live in the most liberal and populated county. I do spend a lot of in the more rural counties where you would probably be more likely to see some but truthfully I can’t even think back to the last time I did. I am sure there are some but it isn’t like it is the Wild West and people have them strapped on to their hip. I do think there is more concealed carry than open.

I do not here in urban Houston. I’m sure many are concealed carrying though, hoping for their John Wayne moment.

Honestly if I saw someone open carrying a gun into an urban grocery store or restaurant I’d leave and call 911. How are we supposed to know what their intention is until it’s too late?

Another Texan here. I split the my time between the Houston area (urban and blue) and a town of less than 700 people (rural and red) and I have only once ever seen a citizen open carry. It's the gas station manager in the rural town. If it matters, the station is open 24 hours and is on the main highway through town. It's normally quiet but I'm sure she has seen her fair share of weirdos.
I actually have my LTC even though it's not required in my state. I conceal carry sometimes for protection. I also hunt. I consider myself a responsible gun owner. Almost everyone I encounter who carries will tell you that open carry is a bad idea. It makes you more of a target and eliminates your ability to safely de-escalate a situation.
Contrary to popular belief, responsible carry means using your weapon for self-defunse is always, always an absolute last resort.

This has been 100% my experience, including when I have been to hunting conventions, etc. Not once have I seen anyone just willy nilly carrying a gun. 

10000%. 

Only once. It was in a suburb of Dallas..walking into a restaurant with a holster and gun and definitely not law enforcement

I occasionally see open carry in my area. Within my county it’s less likely as we are a blue bubble - public university town in Appalachia- but I have seen people carrying. . Surrounding counties are very rural - I’ve seen it more often and it’s almost always those who really shouldn’t have access to guns at all.

I'm in Texas, albeit in a blue bubble. I can't recall ever seeing anyone open carry here. I can't even recall anyone who is obviously carrying concealed except a few times.

You only need a permit for concealed carry here. But no, I have not ever noticed anyone outside of law enforcement and obvious hunting groups carrying firearms of any kind in public.

And that's coming from someone who had a rifle club in high school.

When I lived on Alaska all the time. Never understood why they needed to be armed at the coffee shop and at Costco. They usually drive big pickups too. So you know what they say "big truck, small..."

Unfortunately, I’ve seen it way more times than I’ve been comfortable with. I immediately have thoughts about anyone who open carries, and theorize they have a small dick, and they’re an asshole.

I Live in a small town in Texas 5 months of the year. Just going into the post office, I see three or four pistols in holsters. It's pretty common around town. Usually older men.

I live in Michigan. I have only seen one guy open carry, and that was years ago at a beach/pier on Lake Michigan.
