I don't even open the door to adults I don't know. Doing so is a safety hazard. I tell them I'm not intersted through the window and leave it at that.
Maybe a "No Soliciting, unless you're under the age of 16" sign :)

Sec. 21-153. Carrying a firearm prohibited; exceptions.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to carry a firearm within the city limits of the City of San Antonio at:
(1) A public park; or
(2) A public meeting of a governmental body; or
(3) A political rally, political parade, or official political meeting; or
(4) A nonfirearms-related school, college, or professional athletic event.
(b) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution for a violation of this provision that:
(1) The firearm is being carried by a certified peace officer; or
(2) The firearm is being carried by a certified security officer in the performance of his employment.
(Ord. No. 79328, § 3, 12-16-93; Ord. No. 84805, § 2, 9-19-96)

That's automatically moot due to state preemption. But yes, it should be removed.

Plano has an ordinance and large fines for those caught.
Wow! Great link!! I found this gem about Houston:
Sec. 28-2. Possession of gasoline siphons.
It shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession upon any public street, alley, sidewalk or other public place within the city limits any rubber hose or any other device which could be used to siphon gasoline out of an automobile.
(Code 1968, § 28-11)
Made me :rolll
