Wikipedia says there are states which have procedures for duelling.
Some American states have laws which establish procedures for legal duelling, but it is unlikely that they would be upheld in court.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel

Now I'm wondering which states these would be. The only one where I would have any reason to think it might be legal is Georgia, because Zell Miller challenged Chris Matthews to a duel.

5. That's true. When I see the words "Wikipedia says," I stop.
It's up there with "Drudge says" or "Rush says" in the credibility department. It's probably 95% correct. If you want to know what is believed, not necessarily what is actual, it's a place to find that.

Do we really need people who can't get a GED writing entries in what purports to be an encyclopedia? I understand you have to have an actual high school diploma to become one of their top people.
