What's the legal definition of 'duel'? Is it any kind of fisticuffs? Pistols at dawn? How do martial arts schools operate, then? Is 'half-strength' sparring allowed? Full-strength?
- serpentor 11y agoThe common definition of a duel is: FIGHT TO THE DEATH. Typically with weapons, not limited to pistols, and pre-dating pistols, swords were used. And the above cited law states that it's illegal to CHALLENGE someone to a duel OR ACCEPT SUCH CHALLENGES. Probably because it's interchangable with threatening to murder someone. Note that the provided law doesn't mention the actual fighting OF a duel.
