Depends on weather, attire, local laws/customs and lots of other things. I open carry on the bike once in a while because it's just too hard to close up the jacket over it, I don't want to wear a belt with riding pants and it'd be hard to draw from concealment with a zipped up riding jacket on. I've also OC'ed on horseback because, again, too hard to draw from under a jacket, especally with one hand on the reins. A few times I needed to stop at the store on the way home from the range and just didn't have a concealement holster with me. I ALWAYS open carry when at a range or shooting in the desert. It looks pretty silly to drape a shirt over a bulky OC holster. It's totally legal and customary here, so it's not biggie. The whole thing about being the first guy the bad guy tries to take out is pretty much a myth and I've never heard of it happening. And offending visiting Californians and Canadians is an added bonus.
