As far as I know Permits and ID Cards are required for a Door to Door to salesman. Had asked (angrily) a Salesman directly one day, he only told me and also showed his ID card.
I live at altitude above Denver and this same thing happened here a few years ago-my neighbors and I were all astonished, especially since it occured in the evening when it had become dark outside. These people were trying to sell magazines and wouldn’t take no for an answer and were very arrogant!! We called the local sheriff’s office and they came and rounded ‘em all up. Said this is the “way they do it” and no, it’s not acceptable. Haven’t had anymore since then….It felt good to know we had some ‘personal protection’ available just in case we needed it.
Get some Jehovah Witness Pamphlets from somewhere. Next time a salesman comes to your door get out the pamphlets and start preaching. They will leave in no time. If they call tell them to hold on a minute, put the phone down and come back to it in 10 – 20 minutes or whenever you hear the off the hook phone sound. Both of these work quite well. Another thing I like to do with Jehovah’s Witness nuts is start talking about the lord SATAN. You should see their faces…lol The other person was right though about safety. There are a lot of scumbags out there who intend to harm others for no reason. The safest thing is to not open the door. Personally, I have a license to carry and have protection at all times. My motto is “It’s better to be judged by twelve than carried by six”.
Don’t answer the door next time. I know it sounds paranoid, but you never know nowadays, they could be casing the neighborhood. I don’t answer the door for ANYBODY unless I’m expecting someone. (And especially when I’m home alone)
depends on the location as to permits required.
i thought for sure you were going to say this was a “mag crew” – google that and you will find plenty of advice.
hi i live in England and mostly all the time they come down my end but they offer us carpets and next time ignore them then they won’t come anymore. i hope this will help
I totally agree with Michele. Don’t answer the door. Next time, error on the side of caution.
Depending on your city laws, yes they may need a permit.
