You are wrong and please stop being a drama queen. If you have a fence with a locked gate and no trespassing sign then they are trespassing. Otherwise, people can come and knock on your door. If they are soliciting then they may need a license. Go ahead and shoot someone doing that and see how it works out for you. Tell them to leave, if they don’t then call the police. That is how civilized people act. Don’t answer the door if you don’t want to.

However - I wouldn't shoot them because I don't own a gun. I will warn them. If they continue - well I'll get my bow and arrows, which aren't considered firearms. And I'll shoot'em anyway
