How To Legally Fight Your Worst Enemy 4 Hours From Boise

Let's be honest with ourselves for a moment - we all have someone or multiple people in our lives who we don't like. We're not talking about pure hate either, but maybe there's someone at work who just gets on your nerves on a daily basis.

That's okay! We're all human and most of us have the ability to show restraint anytime this person drives us up the wall.

You're In Luck, There's A Way You Can Legally Punch This Person In The Face

Luckily for you, the state of Washington is one of two states in America where “mutual combat” is legal (the other being Texas) according to WorldPopulationReview.com. When looking deeper into the law on the State of Washington’s website, there’s a law on “Dueling” that states:

Any person subject to this code who fights or promotes, or is concerned in or connives at fighting a duel, or who, having knowledge of a challenge sent or about to be sent, fails to report the fact promptly to the proper authority, shall be punished as a court martial may direct.

The key component thing to take away from this is “fails to report the fact promptly to the proper authority.” This means you’ll need to notify an officer about your arrangement with the nuisance of your life so they can be present to presumably ensure nothing gets out of hand during your fight... you know, cause you really don't like this person.

Also, if your battle gets messy, keep in mind that any property damage or harm to bystanders is still illegal during the fight.

But, at the end of the day, all it takes is a a phone call and a 4-hour drive if you want to throw hands with your worst enemy.
