I would agree with that. One thing I wonder about is how the state informed people it was going to be doing these random visits. Was it advertised?
We had someone in our neighborhood the other day knocking on a door of a house that is not occupied. I didn't see him knock, but my across the street neighbor saw him and I saw my neighbor confront the man. This is small town Iowa. No weapons displayed or visible. We have to get off this track, of we need to be armed. Just neighbors looking out for a neighbor, (who did not exist). It was a U.S. census worker doing his job.
The U.S.A. didn't say our census worker will be on Sherman Ave. on Sept. ___, 2020.
If you have something to say to an Amishman, they expect you to go to their house.
I don't call first. I knock. I do not expect the neighborhood to come out with armaments, although they have arms. I knock, greet, explain my purpose, extend kindness with hope of reciprocation. These are social norms.
I have no doubt you follow them. But, we have too many examples of people who don't.
