Answering the Door

Don't open your door at the sound or a knock or bell. Know who's at your door before opening it. Install a wide-angle peephole in your front door so you can look out without being seen yourself.
Don't rely on chain locks for security. They're only good for privacy.
Don't open the door to a delivery or service person unless you are expecting a package or a call. Ask for the person's name and the name and phone number of the company. Call it to confirm the visit. Keep the door closed and locked in the meantime.
Check photo registration card before dealing with any solicitors, peddlers, interviewers, etc. These persons are required to obtain a card from the SDPD and display it on the front of their clothing. They are allowed to solicit only between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. except by appointment. Call their agency to verify their identity.
Call the SDPD if a solicitor does not have a registration card. Use the non-emergency numbers, 619-531-2000 or 858-484-3154. And provide the dispatcher with a good description of the person.
Post a NO SOLICITING sign if you don't want any solicitor to ring your door bell, knock on your door, or make any other sound to attract your attention.
Ask for photo identification before letting in anyone you don't know. Check out the identification with the company or agency if you are suspicious.
Never let a stranger enter your home to use the telephone. Offer to make the call yourself in an emergency.
Consider getting a dog that will bark when someone is at the door.
Call 911 if the person at the door is aggressive in knocking or ringing the doorbell, or is otherwise threatening.
If you don't want to answer the door and don't want the person there to think that no one is home, say something like "We can't come to the door now," or "We don't open the door to strangers."

You're welcome.

As you know, I empathize with the virtue of wanting to help one's fellow mankind. Some - not all - of these canvassers, undoubtedly, have been seduced into thinking that THIS is the way to help.

But no serious person of intellect thinks this is a smart, low-risk idea. This is set-up.

love dealing with these creepozoids. When ever these busybodies knock, I take out my own clipboard. There have been times, like during the Census, when they show up with the attitude that we HAVE to cooperate. I take out my clipboard and ask them for their Social Security number. I state we cannot proceed without this preliminary and essential information. If they are wearing any kind of ID, badge, whatever, I try to copy down their name, asking to verify the spelling and pronunciation. Then we return to the essential Social Security number. Most of the time they go away, spouting some nonsense about ‘civic duty.’

So...how about a little brainstorming right now... If these Vaccine Police show up, let’s ask for THEIR Vaccine Card. Ask them to PROVE there are no side effects. Then... Ask for their Social Security number. Might be fun.””

We have window sidelights on our front door where someone easily could see if we’re home. We have an ex-neighbor who would occasionally do the pop-in if he was in the neighborhood. BIG LIB (socialist, actually). After the election, we went to Home Depot and bought sticky panels that make the glass look etched, and put them on immediately. We haven’t seen Bob since. :)

It should work for Biden’s goon squad, too.

I live in an integrated neighborhood.

It’ll be easy to see if Deep State’s myrmidons give unvaxxed people of color in the neighborhood a pass...

Note to Deep State: If so, you’ll have some splainin’ to do, won’t you.
