just made and put up my NO SOLICITING sign

Anyone approaching my porch should notice this sign:

If that didn't dissuade you, and you still want to get on my porch, you have to come through a latched metal gate. You basically have to put your hand on this notice to open the gate:

If you ignore the notice and unlatch the gate, and you aren't concerned about the eruption of dog-barking from within, this is posted on the screen door:

I don't know how to be more clear.

I had a no soliciting sign that said "Unless you're a girl scout selling girl scout cookies, this will be the next thing you see. <insert pic of revolver>. If you're selling, I'm not buying". Never worked. I'd usually open the door to see the person finally reading the sign and gulping.

how about one of these signs?

I have a no soliciting sign right above the doorbell. Doesn't stop them. The entrance to my neighborhood also says no soliciting. I listen to what they're selling then I give them the business about not being able to read and comprehend English. I carry at home, so when they see my pistol, there're very sorry them leave...quickly

How about "Solicitors will be violated for trespassing."?

Ive allways put one up. It works quite well, and on the rare occasion someone violates it, I feel quite comfortable pointing to the sign and slamming the door!

The only thing the No Soliciting signs we put up have accomplished is. To get the idiot at the door say, Oh yeah i read it, i'm not a solicitor, i'm a salesman.
AND YOU'RE TRESPASSING

Has anyone ever seen one that tells everyone else except kids fundraisers for their club or team to get the heck off my property?

I hate the salesmen/scammers, but I don;t mind the neighborhood kids at all.

I've had a sign up for 6 years now, and your right just a slight reduction in violators. Alarm companies are the most common offenders, I think they believe that my alarm company sign in the yard is an invitation for competition to ring the bell. I actually kind of enjoy answering the door to find a sales person at the door. I usually wait for them to go through the pitch and respond I don't want to change to a company with employees that can't read. Yesterday two girls came to the door and one is training the other, I suggested that teaching some basic reading skills would be a good place to start. Others I have used are "You speak very much like an American, amazing for somebody that can't read". I just don't answer the door most of the time, eventually they leave.

My buddy lives in a gated community on the other side of the hogback from me, he doesn't deal at all with this horeshit...you know who you are, i'm gonna come knocking selling 922 compliance parts....
