Not unless I knew them personally and thought they were hot heads who would be better suited in another occupation.

I don't have much experience in those states. Haven't been to Va. My time in Az was mostly around Sedona. Don't remember seeing anyone practicing open carry. Had I seen someone doing so out and about on a trail it wouldn't have caused me any concern. In a bar where alcohol is being served, yeah I'd find another bar. Firearms and alcohol are a bad mix IMO and one of the main reasons I switched to bow hunting.
