I am having trouble and need help from Hatrack. I can't find a white glove. You see, someone insulted my honor and I need a white glove so I can challenge him to a pistol duel.
Thanks in advance.

Just sneak into their house and kill them. Much easier.

These look about right.

You can demand an apology first, as the offended party. If he apologizes, the matter is settled. If he refuses, he must therefore think he wasn't lying in his insult, and the matter must be decided by a duel to the first blood (if using swords) or one pass with pistols. Or a method of your choosing, as the offended party.
However, if he, say, hit a lady, an apology is not enough to settle. It requires two pistol passes.

I prefer to use a steel gauntlet. It makes a more serious statement, and often gives you a distinct advantage in the duel.

If you're using a gauntlet, though, you just throw down your gauntlet.

But these command more attention.

Surely any glove will do, although mittens are usually frowned upon.
May I offer my services as a second? I am skilled with the catapult.

Just guessing here, but he's probably looking for something less . . . flashy.

And if it happens to hit their head on the way down, who could have predicted that?

White Gloves? What kind of namby-pamby freedom-hater are you? There's only one way to call someone out, and that's a 9-inch bowie knife driven through the ace of spades on the card table in the back of the saloon.

A Bowie knife? What kinda wimps do you hang around with? Real men use a Davy Crockett.
