This is not legal advice. I am not a lawyer.
Be prepared to have your CC instructor claim that you'll be arrested/ticketed for Disorderly Conduct, which does not apply to Open Carry, without some other cause. Such charges are thrown out in court in KY, to my knowledge.
Also, there's no such charge as inciting panic, or whatever it's called. It's covered under these two KRS, to my knowledge, but does not apply since it's a legitimate purpose.

525.055 Disorderly conduct in the first degree.
(1) A person is guilty of disorderly conduct in the first degree when he or she:
(a) In a public place and with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance, or
alarm, or wantonly creating a risk thereof:
1. Engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous, or threatening behavior;
2. Makes unreasonable noise; or
3. Creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act that
serves no legitimate purpose
Open Carry is a Constitutionally protected right in Kentucky. I believe intent to cause alarm has to be proven here, and OC is a legitimate purpose (self defense). You'll find many people agree with this here.

525.060 Disorderly conduct in the second degree.
(1) A person is guilty of disorderly conduct in the second degree when in a public place

(b) Makes unreasonable noise;
(c) Refuses to obey an official order to disperse issued to maintain public safety
in dangerous proximity to a fire, hazard, or other emergency; or
