Well, I do carry, so I guess I could use the Stand Your Ground law to take care of them problem, but I really prefer gentler methods.

So, if religious, I explain I'm a witch (not really but whatever works) and that I'd be happy to listen to their spiel/go to their church with the proviso that they listen to my spiel or attend my coven meeting (we're always short on human sacrifices).

If a sales person, I try to barter with them. They really hate that.

If a politician, I usually explain I'm not a U.S. citizen (I have dual citizenship, so I'm not really lying) and not interested in becoming one. I did have one knock on my door during the presidential elections. I shut him up quite quickly when I said I was a diehard liberal from California. He left without even leaving me a flyer or asking that I vote.
