I selected Other. I think the death penalty is hypocritical and waaay beyond the authority of the government. I prefer exile from the clan. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here kinda thing....
Utah has it on the books, and I think they've used it. I think they still have it on the books as an option (I think the guest of dishonor gets his choice of exit method). As I recall, they even had a self-execution firing squad; the person to be executed sits on a chair where the rifles are zeroed, and the pressure of sitting, via a series of levers and/or cables and pulleys, fires the fatal shot(s).I wasn't aware that the firing squad was ever used in the US, but that's interesting.

Yeah, I was editing my answer and got interrupted. They had one choose firing squad in 2010.Utah no longer allows it to be selected as a method of execution - through 2004 they did and after it was revoked they still allowed a "grandfather clause" use if a condemned prisoner had elected that method before it was revoked.
