36. That's because it would be demonstrably true.

In an open carry jurisdiction, "the guy with the gun" would be committing no crime. The guy who bolted from the store w/o paying for the merchandise in their possession would be committing a crime. This isn't remotely in question...it's the law.

Don't get me wrong: open carry is idiotic in the large majority of situations. But your assessment of the legalities involved is flat out false.
