    Didn't someone challenge Abraham Lincoln to a duel, and ol' Abe chose Broadswords as his weapon of choice? If I recall the coward backed down.

    edit: found it!

    The day of the duel, September 22, arrived and the combatants met at Bloody Island, Missouri, to face death or victory. As the two men faced each other, with a plank between them that neither was allowed to cross, Lincoln swung his sword high above Shields to cut through a nearby tree branch. This act demonstrated the immensity of Lincoln’s reach and strength and was enough to show Shields that he was at a fatal disadvantage. With the encouragement of bystanders, the two men called a truce.

    Could be fun.

    Add an addendum they are always held on Bloody Island, MO and call it tradition.

      The only thing that would make it more unfair is if Abe suggested in epee. One lunge and the dude would be a donut.

    Preston Brooks, the pro-slavery Congressman who beat Charles Sumner, later got goaded into challenging abolitionist Anson Burlingame to a duel. Thing is Burlingame as the challenged got to pick the weapons and venue. Anson was an expert marksman so he picked rifles, so Brooks wussed out.

      There’s an alleyway in my city famous for having been a dueling spot. it’s near a bunch of bars and people piss all over it due to the lack of public restrooms. This being the south I assume all of the dumbasses who died there deserved it.

    I’ve been a legalize dueling guy for over a year now. I’m glad my policy ideas are taken seriously.

    “The hour of High noon” is such a funny way to make the time fluctuate seasonally and confuse the duelers.

    Also weapon of choice means they are gonna shoot rifles/swords

    Please duel but with modern weapons now. No more squinting to aim and hoping the powder isn't wet, just fully loaded Glock 18's now please
