Actually, I never saw the couple buy any gas. They were buying something in the store as well as using some of the paper towels near the station I had my car in. I had to wait for the senior male motorcyclist with the foot long knife to get out of the way before I could pull up to the gas pump.

I just was curious what the laws were about carrying knives out in the open like this? And it seems to vary a great deal from state-to-state as well as city-to-city.
