I would be surprised if there really is any rule about any solicitors. Going back to a thread in 2008 a past owner of this forum (Talk Host) answered a similar thread with this and it makes sense to me.

"The Villages is not a political subdivision or governmental entity. It cannot make or enforce ordinances. It encompasses three counties, so the laws would vary in each."

Install a RING doorbell and answer every knock or doorbell with your smartphone regardless of whether you are home or away.

I remember a couple of years ago when a similar discussion popped up on TOTV. One poster replied that he always answered the door while holding his pistol behind his back - just in case.

I sure would hate going through life that paranoid.

Back to topic. If a religious group knocks on your door, why come up with hare brained ideas like acting crazy, threatening to call police, etc? Is that how your parents raised you or what you taught your children? Just take their pamphlet, say you already are a Christian, Jew, or whatever- thank them and politely close the door.

If I'm not mistaken, if they cross the threshold, uninvited, you have a right to shot them no questions asked.

In fact if you remain on your own property, you can have the gun in plain sight. That would probably make them leave and not come back.

That does not sound right. Maybe if they were breaking into your house with a knife in hand. Yes. But just someone at your door who puts themselves over your threshold I doubt if you could shoot them unless they were choking you. And even then if you were 100 lbs heavier than that person.

Good grief! These are church ladies and gentlemen that dress like we did in the seventies. They are trying to save your souls. OR

They are landscapers who want to cut your grass.

Maybe they are bad people who want to maim and harm you but I am almost eighty and that has never been the case of folks coming to my door.

Most of us don't answer the door if what we see is a little odd.

I am grateful the the apex solicitors, the Alphas, who say, "Trick or Treat", don't operate here.

Jim, do you have Jehovah Witnesses barge into your house? No, I don't think so.

Maybe having your gun in plain view is legal but I hope you would not be pointing your gun (brandishing) at the person in your yard. That is assault with a deadly weapon and you will end up in handcuffs.

Stick to your excellent music, please.

Just another perspective. I play cards in TV with a lady who is physically handicapped and she fell and lay by the front door for 3 days and was only saved because a Jehova Witness knocked on her door and heard her yelling for help. She broke her hip and was completely immobile. Perhaps it truly was divine intervention...
