I have been in the "free speech" business all my teenage and adult life. I know what it means and I know how to defend it. It frightens me to think that anybody, under any circumstances would stand in the way of somebody speaking their piece on public property. Religious organizations, politicians and and sales people have been knocking on doors since the very beginning of the Unites State of America. I hate to see that now we want to chase them off with a shotgun.

Public roadways, yes, I get that. As for door-to-door, I wouldn't chase 'em off with a shotgun either. I'd just mention the "no soliciting" policy and ask them to leave.
Sure someday, a salesman (religious, political or otherwise) might challenge the policy. I don't live in fear of that day. Where I live now, my only defense against door-to-door solicitors is to ask them to leave. If that's my only defense in TV, c'est la vie. Much ado about not much.
