No. Because you'd call the police because someone bothered you by ringing on your door.

I only did that for the really pushy ones or multiple offenders. It's not like I called the police on everyone I saw that I didn't recognize. No, I called the police on door-to-door types that would knock on my door repeatedly after I have told them I'm not interested and I don't want them on my property anymore.
I'll admit though that it wasn't a very common problem at all and most people are decent enough to respect your wishes if you tell them not to bother you. In the 2 years I lived in a gated community I only had to call the police for trespassing maybe twice.
In many parts of the USA, trespassing on others peoples property would simply get you shot, not just result in a police call.
BTW if you ever get jehovahs witnesses or other kinds of Jesus freaks, just tell them that you are muslim and they will leave and shouldn't bother you again.

I live on a mjaor street in a city. No trespassers at all in years. Definitely no gates.

Where would these be exactly?
What if I hung out a Vatican flag from the window whenever they showed up in the neighbourhood?

Some Protestant or related sect will shoot you in the face, then use the flag as draperie.

Hollywood I think! Perhaps some pornographic plotlines? Though that sounds somewhat less unpleasant.

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
I told the last Jesus missionaries that I had already converted - to Buddhism. That seemed to shut them up long enough for me to get away.
Granted, these people never come to my front door. The last they they did was in university, and they showed up at 9am on a Saturday morning. They woke me up and my roommate was in the process of being woken up when they tried to convince me to let them in to talk about microsoft word and/or excel, or whatever. I was a very nice young man in those days, and so it wasn't very easy for me to send them on their way - but then when they kept pestering me by asking me repeatedly "what is the meaning of life?", my roommate had enough and yelled from his bedroom that the meaning of life is to F your wife. They left right after that and that's the last time anyone ever showed up at my front door trying to convert me to their cult.

Good thing that I'm Orthodox. No sects. Well, theoretically, there's some Protestants going over and trying to convert folks, but they aren't exactly successful.

I'm glad the mayor of Paris is suing Fox News. I hope she wins. This era of irresponsible 'journalism' is getting me down.

Alright, in the case of repeated offenders that sounds way more reasonable.
When I lived in Texas once two or three Mormons showed up. I politely told them that I am not interested in God and we wished each other a good day and end of story, it wasn't unpleasant at all to me. People like to crap-talk those kinds of people, be it salesmen or Mormons or whatever, but I suspect a major reason for that is simply that ringing at stranger's door reeks a bit of desperation and that makes such people seem weak and an easy target to bad-mouth.

Twenty years in kings cross, London's original no-go-zone and not only did I never call the police I didn't bother to lock the door until bedtime. Or unless I was going out further than the local shops.
Now I live in an area that the Fox affiliated Sun newspaper calls a no-go-zone. "The Real Benefits Street". Still never seen trouble, and never lock my door in the daytime. People get precious.
Bad sects
One thing I can't understand is why door to door evangelism hasn't been banned. It's free speech taken too far.
Hmmm, imagine if I had my own place, and they turned up, I let them in to talk and locked the door, and hid the keys. Then I be as rude and evil as I possibly can towards them, and they cant get out muahaahahahaha!

That would probably earn you a conviction for wrongful imprisonment.
They're not so bad in the UK. Couple of street preachers who seem a few gospels sort of a New Testament, but most door-to-door missionaries are elderly Jehovah's Witnesses who seem to have taken up religion as a way to pass the time, and they're persistent but manageable. You'll occasionally get young American Mormons, too, but I've always found them to be unfailing polite. (If anything, they seem a little embarrassed to interrupt.)
