[1] It depends on the State. In some States open carry means that the gun can not be concealed or covered to any extent or in any way by one's clothing. The laws of other States might not be a strict. There's on substitute for thoroughly researching the question on a State by State basis, other than to default to wearing the gun fully and completely exposed.

[2] In Arizona, it's probably less of an issue because both open and concealed carry is allowed without a permit.

[3] And remember that in Texas, open carry is not an option.
