    When you say "gun" are you talking about your...? Oh never mind.

    Sometimes the gun isn't even necessary. Hell, even the naked part may be going too far. I just answer wearing a gold sequined thong and holding a blow up sheep. They really don't come around much any more.

    It only takes a second to politely tell someone that you don't have time for a sales, political, or religious conversation and prefer not to discuss those topics or do business with strangers on your doorstep. I've never had to raise my voice or had anyone get belligerent with me as I shut my door.

    There was a woman who was shilling for Obama during the 2012 election season. She came to my door. I told her that if she didn't do anal she was wasting both of our time.

    I like it. Heck, I might use it next time. Even if it's a dude wanting to sell me siding. I'll try to capture the look in his face when I ask if he's into anal.

    I was so fed up with the constant, nonstop solicitations that I went to home depot and picked up one of those “No Trespassing” signs in red and white. There w a large white space under the words, and I wrote something like, “No soliciting, No contractors, No estimates, No witnessing, No sales, and absolutely No Roofing Contractors.”
    So far, it’s worked. Then again, the bulk of door-to-door sales doesn’t really hit until the weather is warmer.

    I'm real glad we don't have much of a problem with this. Our front door is set back in a little ways, with a walkway and an overhanging tree. Maybe that discourages people, I've seen people stop on the sidewalk and look towards the door, then move on. We don't even get that many trick-or-treaters.

    Mount these out of sight and plumbed to your air compressor, and rigged to a switch somehow. That'll scare the dogs off your porch.

    THis was around 5 yrs ago. I was working grave yard, and had an infant. These solicitors were ring the bell left and right. Only time I can sleep is when my infant baby sleeps.
    It was really annoying, and posted this sign in front of my side window. Notice that I use highlighter on "NOTICE"

    After posting this, I only had 1 solicitor so far since posting the sign.
