I'm thinking about buying this car from a second owner and when I did a carfax, it said this:
Title issued or updated
Duplicate title issued
Should I be worried about a duplicate copy of the title? If I buy a used car, should I get two titles? I'm new to this whole car thing and imagined buying a car, getting a title and then having some guy show up saying he has a title too and that I'm driving his car.
Thanks.

A duplicate title simply means that the original was lost, that's all. If a salvage title was "washed" through a state without a salvage title it would show up as being re-titled in a different state, not as a duplicate title.

It means someone lost the title at some point and had to get a replacement. It could imply that the car was stolen or sold as salvage. Or maybe somebody just misplaced the title.

That shouldn't raise any flags for you. Many people lose their title and when they go to trade the car, apply for a new one. It is very common and nothing at all to worry about.

It usually means that either the title was lost or maybe the car was in a flood and needed a new title. I'd dig around a little more before I invest money in the car. Speak to the DMV in your area for more information.
