Better change your password to your home alarm system.

He was making the point how easy it is to break in.

The 30 day remorse in a signed door to door contract killed D2D sales. "Just put a quarter a day in the slot on the vacuum cleaner handle and that will be enough to make your monthly payment....."

There are some sketchy ass home alarm companies out there. Door to door sales of something as important as home security isn’t something I would buy into, but I have seen these (not from this company, but others like it) teams of security system salespeople going unsolicited door to door, selling a system that I’d never heard of, and it all stank of overpriced door to door vacuum salesmen selling $1500 vacuums on credit that I used to encounter in the 1990s.

“he forced his way into her home to talk about burglar alarms”

Ok, there’s irony and then there’s this. lol

Had a couple of women come to my door one time wanting to discuss selling me a burglar alarm, I said not interested and she said “I see you have a sign by your front door and stickers on windows indicating you already have a system” and then actually asked me what type of system I had. I said “it would be kinda dumb to provide that info dontcha think?” I then suggested they remove themselves from my property. Sad thing is, some people would probably provide the info and not think twice.

Why doesn’t he just use the Democrat method and say not buying a burglar alarm is racist/sexist/homophobic/Islamophobic?

You got to be one tough dude to work door to door sales in Marrero.

They don’t call it Murderero for nothing

Who answers the door bell anymore? Stunningly dangerous, stupid thing to do. At least, without a pistol with the safety off.

The lady of the house dodged a bullet, so to speak.

The ONLY time, thank God, I’ve ever had to point my rifle at a person (which I have since lost in a boating accident) was on a door to door salesman.

You know the type. A van will drop off kids from out of town to go knocking door to door to sell scam magazine subscriptions or cleaning supplies. One of these guys would NOT take “no” for an answer and stuck his foot in the door when I tried to close it. Big mistake. Mr. Mossberg doesn’t take kindly to strangers.

I had an aggressive alarm salesman talking to my wife through the security screen, when he refused to take a polite no from my wife I let our Alarm System loose to the door and over the barking I told him that I already have a 140 pound alarm and if he didn't leave I would open the door let him have a closer look. I detest salesman that won't take a polite no.

No person comes to my door. Well, once or twice when the dogs happen to be off on a deer chasing adventure and the bull is asleep.

If I need something, I go to the store and buy it.

No smiles... no small talk... just “no thanks, good day sir”

when someone knocked on the door, the report said. As soon as she cracked the door, a man later identified as Petersen entered the doorway, put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her backwards while asking about her home security system.

That's at least two offenses worthy of Dead-Right-There responses.
Forcible entry into a residence -- DRT;
Putting his hands on another person without permission -- DRT.

There's probably more, but I'm feeling generous and forgiving today.
