Death by firing squad is only legal in Oklahoma and Idaho, but lethal injection is the standard method used in those states. They would allow firing squad for exentuating circumstances, whatever those may be.

Utah is the only state that still uses a firing squad. They have 5 marksmen aiming at the person. One of the guns had the bullet and the rest have blanks so that no one knows who actually shot the person and the person does not know where the bullet will come from.

I dont believe it is a matter of what state, because the United States does not enforce a firing squad. Would not surprise me to find out 3rd world countries do.
