New Jersey and I love it. I can sit in the car when the wind in howling and the rain is hitting my windshield and just let someone else do it. I can do the same thing in Texas -- at a full service pump. On days when the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the gas is 20 cents per gallon cheaper self-pumped, I can CHOOSE to pump my own. You can't.

While I agree with you about the choice, gas doesn't get much cheaper than here in NJ.

Just gotta add here at the end, when I say it doesn't bother me a whole lot, that's not to say it doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes you gotta choose your battles. I suppose our legislature would give us self service if we offered something in trade. They'd probably love to take back shall issue.
And just in case you don't know or remember the time, we got shall issue before Texas, so we'll come around on our fueling rights soon enough. There are a lot of things that are higher on my priority list. Right now the struggle here is about taxes and spending, and it's taking all we have to keep these things in check.
We should feel sorry for New Jersey. They don't have self serve or shall issue (and I'll bet most freepers there, if they could choose between the two...) I know if I were there fighting to get shall issue, I'd be displeased to see conservatives and libertarians running around wasting air on self serve gas.
