SLCW on Nostr: I don't know if dueling with pistols should be legal, but I think it should be legal ...

I don't know if dueling with pistols should be legal, but I think it should be legal for two adults who want to settle their dispute with physical combat to do so without the worry of criminal consequences, or civil suits following the duel. There should be some space for that to happen. The reason I'm not so sure about weapons is because of the real risk of someone dying. Because that doesn't just effect the combatants. It effects the wives and children, and potentially sets the stage for retaliatory action by surviving family members. I don't think you should be able to subject your family to that.
