[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3572366, member: 5412"] I read up on how that process works way back in the day. Can't believe I still remember the name. In Utah, Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad. If I remember right, there were a series of pre aimed 30-30 lever guns pointed at Gilmore. The executioners only had to pull a string or something to fire the rifles. One was loaded with a blank so nobody knew who fired the blank as a means of helping the executioners settle with themselves mentally. Edit: I think Oklahoma still has that as an alternative. Personally I think a nitrogen chamber would be best. [/QUOTE]
