I know you are referring to open carrying - but I just had a brief anecdote regarding this. I've been walking/jogging often lately on popular jogging trails (yes I have a valid PA LTCF) - while both OC & CC (just by the way my shirt is hanging during it) I've found that males, older than about age 45, nearly always notice it. I have no explanation why.
