st: A layman question on model building

Hi all,
I have a question which may sound too basic, but I wonder if anyone could help:
We often add control variables that turn out to be insignificant. Does
that mean that I can remove that variable form my model without being
concerned with omitted variable bias?
Thanks,
James
