for you abingdon folks, have you noticed a large amount of solicitors lately. of course my wife knows NOT to answer the door for anyone and just let the dog bark in the window till they leave. and i chase them away, im not the most friendly looking guy. while some may be legit( like the chem lawn guy, i almost let my dog out on) some are real shady looking. with all the stuff going on the world and all the stuff i read here about break ins, just wanted to give a heads up. some of these guys say they are selling alarm systems, and others that havnt been answered have some sort of badge of some sort. just an fyi, I of course trust no one. and i have told my wife to let the dog bark in the window, or if they dont leave i told her to stand near the window with the .357! while calling the cops.

Anyone that's welcome in my house has been in touch with me ahead of time; everyone else is greeted with the XD in hand but out of sight. 
Very true, I just noticed cause Ive been off for the last week. and trust me when I answer the door the XD(m) is on the belt holster under my shirt in the back. I just worry about when Im not here. Although Baby(the pit bull) does scare most away, and God help 'em if they ever came in, she is very protective of the family.
We now live in south central Abingdon pal...fawk the freaks...

You need a permit to solicit in the county with exception of non-profit (girl scouts etc). Contact Sheriff's Office 410-838-6600, MSP have no jurisdiction for a county ordinance.

I ask for their permit and when they say they don't need/have one I say, let's get the seriff in on this....they leave
That's interesting!!!! I never knew Hazzard Co required a permit to solicit! I will pass that on to my wife! She usually doesn't answer the door anyway. hell it makes me mad because she doesn't answer it even if it is someone she knows, she just sends me no matter what I am doing.
It's funny you talk about your dog... I have three and its funny to watch people's reactions. Two of them are little yappers and people are comfortable with them yapping in the window, enter our third. He is a chow, and that usually produces a surprise/uneasy reaction once he peeks out. Its like nite and day in the facial expressions. LOL!!!

We had a chow and she was more of a teddy bear then a guard dog. I'd have another chow in a hearbeat!
We've tried that... they don't/can't read.
El_flasko nailed it... "south central Abingdon"
The one we have now and the one I grew up with are teddy bears. But when I was in high school, someone tried to break in and the one I grew up with went nuts!!!. We used to say he would lick you to death till the sun went down, then you needed to watch out! I can only hope the chow we have now will be the same way.... but then again, he has never been tested.

Know exactly what you mean....she hated strangers and was very protective of my wife which is why we got her. Once she knew we were ok with the stranger she would chill and lick them. I think about her everyday. She was protective of her food, I have the bite scars to prove it
Put that sign right next to the one showing you have a home alarm system
oh that is very visible in the front yard

"Oh, thats nice, would you like to meet the dog?" usually gets them to leave. She barks, wags her tail (aka slamming it into the sides of her crate for a giant ruckus) and carries on like she wants to eat somebody when really she just wants a biscuit and a head-rub from the visitor. 
It helps that my doorbell doesnt ring, so most people stand out there and press it for a while and then walk away.

Has some D-head environmentalist come around the other night with his clipboard. Seemed a little offended when I told him I wasn't signing his petition or giving him my contact information. Biggest irritant was that he came by once and knocked which I ignored. F'ker came back 20 minutes later and unfortunatly that time the dog went nuts so I had to open the door so she'd quiet down. White guy, late 30's, going bald, something about saving the Bay.
