I've open carried since they day I got my LTCH. The only grief I've ever recieved for it is by my very own family. *sigh* No one else notices, or at least cares.
I think alot of it depends on how you look though, as well. Profiling is a very real, annoying, and serious issue. So if you're Black, Hispanic, or Arabic, or you have a rough or disheveled look, you can expect more scrutiny, no matter how you carry.
I'm 24 now, and have been carrying for a little while. But at the same time, I'm usually in a dress shirt, even if I'm wearing jeans, and I'm fairly clean cut on my best days. The only remarks I've ever gotten about it are how I "look like a cop".
My family on the other hand has mentioned everything from telling me I look like I'm trying to be a cowboy, to my Grandma telling me it's not legal no matter what the law says and that I'm going to jail, all the way up to my dad even refusing to get in the same vehicle as I'm in if I'm carrying, for fear that we'll both be shot on sight by the police. (I really wish I was kidding. )
