Utah did.

This from the Mormon church so that a man could have his blood spilled on the earth and atone for his own sins.

Of course, only Christ's blood could ever pay for one's sins.

Yes, it's still on the books in Utah. In practical terms though, they won't use the firing squad unless the condemned person specifically requests it, because of the negative, sensationalist way the MSM presents the story.

The last man executed by firing squad was strapped to a chair and shot through the heart by four men with .30-30 rifles.
