  • But it's their choice, why can't people have the choice to engage in a duel?

    • There are more legal ways to do this, then just shooting at each other. Plus, making it legal would just take a lot of work.

      • There's no real way for average people to legally engage in any sort of combat. You're not 'allowed' to fist fight even if both parties want to. Dueling would most likely be a means to end a feud that has been ongoing, and after exhausting any legal means to settle things.

        What are our options for a legal duel these days? Lawsuits? Restraining orders? Calling the cops on any little thing you can to get the other guy in trouble? Am I missing something? Those things don't always solve the problem. Lots of times those things make the problem worse.

        Anyway I don't think tons of people would be signing up to duel, it's not like people would all of a sudden duel because they got cut in line or took the last Cabbage Patch doll. I'd think it would be reserved for the most serious of situations, I don't see why not to allow it.

          Oh, but they would too! The stupidity of people far exceeds what you are giving them credit for!

        • Hmmm, and with strict rules...

          Okay, you convinced me, though it still would be a pain in the butt to create and makes workable, so I guess it'll never happen.
