A lot of places (at least near me) have this lock removed they’re a very few places that have it

They’re actually illegal in my state I think.

There are many places around the US, particularly in areas near boaters that have the handle lock removed to prevent over fills.

I think that Hawaii doesn't have the lock on any pump handles. And certainly I know that Maui doesn't.

Montana has it.

Idaho has it.

Washington has it.

I’m on Ontario so who knows if it’s a local provincial thing?

I think I misread your comment. My apologies.

In my area of the country, if the lock happens to be removed, it's common to shove your gas cap in the handle to hold it on instead. The auto-shutoff function still works (until it doesn't).
