If a company was sending hundreds of salesmen to knock at a door one after the other, I'm pretty sure they could successfully get sued for harassment.

- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoCan’t Americans literally shoot each other for trespassing?
- dragonwriter 1y agoGenerally, legally, no, not just for ignoring a “no soliciting” sign.
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoBut they’re presumably trespassing.
- dragonwriter 1y agoAnd, despite what ideas you may get from the media, mere trespass without imminent threat to life is not a justification for deadly force. There are some states where the considerations for self defense do not include a duty to retreat if possible, either in general (“stand your ground" law) or specifically in the home (“castle doctrine"), but all the other requirements (imminent threat of certain kinds of serious harm, proportional force) for self-defense remain part of the law in those states, and trespassing by/while disregarding a ”no soliciting” would not, by itself, satisfy those requirements.
