We made a quick jaunt to the Big Blue Box of Lumber and Hardware for paint and garden plants.  As we went in, I double checked to make sure there was no binding signage, and found none.  Other than that, I didn’t pay it any mind, and apparently no-one else did.  I noticed no strange looks, and interacted with several employees and other shoppers.  

On the way home, I stopped to get some gas at one of the local stop-n-rob’s.  While waiting to pay for my bucket of Coke Zero, I chatted with the local constable, and he didn’t say anything about the gun on my hip.  By the way, that’s not a euphemism.  The little town I was passing through doesn’t have police, they have a constable.  The clerk did notice it as I checked out, but he did it at the same time I noticed the rather large revolver on his hip.  Did I mention that this was a family owned business in a pretty rural area?  Something tells me that a chain store in the suburbs wouldn’t have a clerk that was openly armed.

So there you go.  I openly carried a firearm, nothing happened, and no-one else seemed to have an issue with it.
