    Here is a great site to check on gun laws for the different states...www.handgunlaws.us

    I would also look at getting a concealed weapons permit from my home state and then, depending on what your home state is, look into getting a non-resident permit from Fla. and/or Utah. This will give you 32 plus states in which you will be covered for CC.

    Above all, know your weapon(s)...practice, practice and more practice shooting whatever you carry.

    Coming back from Florida I refilled at Flying J mile marker #1 South Georgia Interstate 75. As is often the case they were busy, busy, and the pump didn't give me a receipt said see cashier. I record purchases in my own book so made entry and left.

    Stopped at next Flying J on 75 about 400 miles north...and the pump wouldn't take my card so I went inside to see cashier. She couldn't seem to figure out why it wouldn't and ended up calling a manager to the register. The manager tried to figure it out and then asked me to step into her office.

    Once in the office a security guard arrived and they accused me of driving off without paying at my last fuel stop!! They actually treated me like a crook and interrigated me like the gestapo...finally asking me if I intended to pay for the last refueling! I did not try to avoid paying for the last fuel in fact I thought it had been paid for...gave them my card and they called the Flying J involved from mile marker #1 and guess what? !!

    It wasn't my fault, the Flying J at mile marker #1 hadn't batched the charges and sent them to the credit card companies within the window of time necessary for this to take place...they had taken care of the problem and all charges had been made to their satisfaction ... so they let me go...with an opps, sorry.

    This whole thing took about two hours and made me late to my sons place in Ky so I had to spend another night in a campground. The more I thought about it the more angry I became and called their home office.

    In the interest of telling a short story...several calls , several letters, they told me to push it up a rope!!! I said fine but you've lost a good customer. No we haven't was their response our gas is too cheap you'll be back!! Ha, Hee.

    You took this a lot better than I would have...I would have told them to "pound sand" and walked out. Then I would have called the Police Dept in that first location to see if the first FJ had reported a "drive off", then I would have called my attorney...FJ has become the "stop of last resort" for me when there are no other options for fuel.

    I wish to purchase a protection shield to protect my toad from debris from my coach. I have a Roadmaster tow bar, so I have been looking at the Roadmaster shield products (although I am open to other suggested products). Roadmaster offers two different shields:

    1 - The Guardian is a vertical wall attaching on the tow bar that blocks the front of the car. This product has been available for quite a while.

    2 - The Defender = a new product = a blanket that covers the tow bar horizontally from the coach to the car.

    I don't want the "bra" type of protection (vinyl jacket attaching on the car) because it takes longer to install and because the friction of the bra on the car scratch the car.

    I would greatly appreciate any comments/suggestions pertaining to items 1 or 2 or any other product you would recommend.

    Thanks.

    Pierre

    I use both of these products, and have used them since 2007. I have a Monaco Signature and tow a 2007 Ford Explorer...Everything works like a charm..In 35K towing mile I've had 0 problems or damage with my toad..Easy to install and only adds a couple of minutes to your hookup time.
