        Can't wait to get into rolling gun fights on the highway during my morning commute to my job where I shoot at people who try to shoot my employer

        Society would be a lot more interesting if they brought back dueling

        Boss doesn't want to give you a raise? Challenge him to a duel, he either acquiesces or you shoot him

        Win-win

          Depends on the rules of the duel

          Often the richer party in duels back in the days of flintlocks had an advantage because they'd have specially modified guns. Super sensitive triggers, lighter frames, etc.

          They'd offer their case of guns. The stooge, not knowing how sensitive the trigger would be ends up firing his shot early, leaving the baron to aim calmly and dispatch.

          I'm now considering that duels were some kind of load bearing column of western society and getting rid of them was where it all went wrong
