Well i don't know if this is considered "open" carry, but i had a t-shirt covering the grip at least 80% of the time.. Its obvious i was carrying but it doesnt stand out nearly as much as a truely open carry...
Millers Super Valu in rome city,, manager greeted me at checkout after glancing down, asked me how i was doing and asked me if i found everything okay, and how i was doing, to which i responded "fine, thanks" "found everything okay, etc.." "How are you, blah blah blah".. no problems, but there was an older grungy looking gentlemen beside me in line (in his 50's i guess, thats older to me). He glanced down at my hip and stared for several seconds and i kinda turned my head and glanced at his face for a split second and he immediately turned away, didn't say a word.
Also went to Work One (a place to look for jobs, I'm unemployed currently), there was several individuals looking, no one said anything. Prompt service there and filled a few apps out sitting down with the gun hanging off the side of the chair in the holster, I would say 80% of the people there didnt notice, maybe 20-25 people there total, really small office, maybe 20x30ft with chairs all around and some computers and a desk.
Stopped at the BP gas station in kendallville, no one said anything to me, someone might have noticed, I didn't really act any different than a normal person, not really concerned about anyone noticing.
Stopped at Save-A-Lot (A local discount gocery store), did all my shopping, manager greeted me, asked me how I was doing, don't think he noticed at all (once again, t-shirt covering the grip), guy ran in front of me at the checkout and grabbed a candy bar, then looked at my face and i said "go ahead" and he smiled and said "thanks", walked out to my car and started bending over to load groceries into my car, and the car next to me had 2 kids in the back seat and a woman in the front, i heard the kids gawking and i could see them staring out the window as my pistol was uncovered and i heard the woman turn and yell at them "SHUT.. THE..****..UP!!!" Lmao..
I carry everywhere, its summer, just a T-shirt covering it if im in public.. most people don't notice but it looks like i have a growth on my hip with the fobus holster sticking out the bottom of my shirt.

I reply "Don't need one I have a permit form the state"
He barks back "It doesn't need to be concealed" 
I reply "no" :fawk:it made me a little mad because he just did this while walking by and didn't stay to have a disscusion. A few minutes later the Asset protection associate came up and asked to see my permit. I tell him that I'm only required to show it to a LEO but in the intrest of not causing a problem I would show him. I checked out a few other things and on the way out I talked to the security guy again and he didn't know that almost anyone can get a permit.
After that I went to Rural king and again no probs, I stepped in the Marsh there for a moment but just to look for an IN auto and rv magazine. Then went down to Meijer and went all over the store. At the milk cooler I was waiting for a woman and her little girl (I'd say 5-6 years old or so) to get done and I think I heard the girl quietly say to her mommy, that guy's got a gun... but the mom didn't really say anything. Maybe it just looked like I should have one on since I had on my INGO tactical hat the whole time.
