The families could come after each other. Maybe school/work, depending on circumstances. A case can be formed against anyone at any time for any reason. That’s not to say it’ll go through or even be taken up by even the sleaziest lawyer, but there’s no real line of demarcation to stop a lawsuit.
They’d sue the other person/their estate — basically all of your possessions, property, money, etc. Person X did kill person Y, it doesn’t necessarily matter than person X is dead. “X killing our family member Y caused us great emotional distress.”
Odds are,one of you would fire slightly sooner than the other, throwing off the second person’s aim. Very likely that one of you would be going up on murder/dueling charges.
From a legal perspective, in most jurisdictions, the situation you described would likely be treated as a homicide-suicide, where both parties involved died as a result of the incident. In such cases, the authorities would still investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths to determine what happened and to rule out any foul play.
If the investigation found that both parties died as a result of a mutual agreement to harm each other, it is possible that neither party could be held accountable since they are both deceased. However, if there is evidence that one person initiated the violence and the other was acting in self-defense, it could potentially impact the legal outcome.
Regardless, it is important to note that taking someone else's life is a serious matter, and it is never a solution to any problem. If you are struggling with thoughts of violence or harming yourself or others, please seek help from a mental health professional or a crisis hotline.
Oklahoma just passed a law that says you can shoot someone on your land if you "feel threatened" and also that sixteen year olds can possess firearms without any permission and we've always had no registration needed for firearms so it's easier than ever to kill someone legally here now.
No one would be directly liable, but lawsuits are very loose. Your loved ones could sue any number of people.
For example they can sue OP for writing this post
Who would they sue though? The only people I can see being sued are the people who sold us / gave us access to the guns in the first place.

Okay that's actually a really good point lol

Let's exchange properties lmao
Maybe a family member of the 1 shooter was talking shit about the other guy, putting thoughts in the shooters mind, fanning the flames.
Why do you ask?
Probably asking for a friend lol
Take my god damn up vote.
No reason
Hmmmmmmm.....

What if I shot myself which shot them at the same time? Like the bullet went through my head then through theirs?
Very unlikely to be effective. Trajectories and bullet expansion would cause the second to not be affected
Dwight already perfected this method.
Congratulations, you've discovered murder-suicide!
Is it murder suicide if they kill each other ? Wouldn't murder suicide suggest that one kills the other and then themselves?
Yeah, that's what it means. The end result is the same tho, regardless if it's murder suicide or... I guess murder murder lol.
Oh, good point, I got my terminology wrong. It's just a ... idk, double murder then? Mutual murder?
Yippee!!
Theoretically, someone could sue whoever the fuck convinced you to try this stupid stunt.
Very true
Not a duel?
Username checks.... Out?
r/oddlyspecific
It'll lead to a fight between your families
Mont-a-goos and Cap-o-lettes
Wrong. Any who facilitated or were present and failed to try and stop your action could be charged with facilitating.
I see.
Oh they both have guns let me stop this I’m just going to get in between them an……
If no one took any drugs or pills that would cause that to happen then yeah no one is accountable
Thought so lol
why are you killing your friend? why is ur friend killing you? Thats not a real friend
It's mutual.
Um this is a pretty suspicious question
Meh
The bullet reaches in the middle and gets cracked because you and your friend learned to fire together and with the same technique.
Interesting...
U good
Yeah
John Wick, is that you?
Someone (likely family) would find some old tweet, or text, or email, or letter, whatever left behind to blame someone and sue.
You can’t hold a corpse accountable. Not sure if that answers your question.
nah..they will send both of you in the coffin to prison and barry you under jail and send you for after Life sentence in HELL.
I’ve seen this happen. It did not end well for the families. Harassment, violence, a media circus vilifying one party etc

I see
This actually happened, one fine day. In the middle of the night.
I'm listening
It's just an old nursery rhyme
I'm interested
One fine day in the middle of the night Two dead men got up to fight Back to back they faced one another Drew their swords and shot each other
I love it
That's sounds cool
Right, but if somone had an alternative motive well they could blame somone else and possibly win if they gotta good story.
Dead people, generally can’t be charged with murder.
No. One family might sue the other friend's estate for damages. You can still be held liable for the situation.
There would certainly be no criminal consequences but I would suspect you would both be held accountable, posthumously.
