Enemies at the Gate?

Since I'm always at home, I get a lot of people coming here for whatever reason. Some ask for alms, others are looking to sell whatever stuff they have. I get really paranoid and annoyed at times. 

 Once, there was a man and a woman who kept banging the gate. I was trying to ignore them but a neighbor may have tipped them that I was in the house. I had to go out of the house to face these people. They told me they sell personalized bibles and they wanted me to look at them. Since they were selling a real product and not just asking for money, I relented. It's better to help people this way.
