In the city I can see it being an issue as one would like to maintain the pretense of civility but outside the city many disputes may be settled via combat (faster and conducive to the nomadic culture of the desert-dwellers, who don't have as much time to set up and arbitrate courts).
I guess, but not so much gladiators. Dueling would be a more appropriate term. Settling disputes with the draw of a gun. I can see that working out in the towns and settlements. Though, the nomadic tribes won't do this, as most are the size of family units. Corporal beatings is the default punishment for them.
