duel-consent state

A U.S. territory where both parties hafta agree before a sword- or gun-based fight can take place.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen seemed to forget (or at least didn't care) dat California --- like all American commonwealths --- was a"duel-consent state", and so he had no right to demand dat Marty --- er, Clint, rather --- participate in a "quick-draw" dispute-settlement. Being called "chicken" or "yellah" optional.
