> In 2010 in the case of the State of Iowa vs Christopher Spates, the Supreme Court judge Justice Ternus states that Iowa only considers the mutual combat law if two combatants agree to the use of deadly weapons, so you can see how different the law varies from state to state.

I wonder if the state would actually adhere to that judgement again.
Mutual combat laws apparently exist in many U.S. states - Texas, unsurprisingly, is one of them too.
