Census workers can enter your apartment in your absence

[Solus]

I do not believe this.  FQ is wrong on one point, (I had to find this out  ) It does not matter if the rent is paid up, If you have not been evicted not even the Landlord can enter with out the residents permission.  (I used to have a nosy landlord     )

If this were to happen to ME the Census worker would have a very bad day, the best thing that would happen would be having the Police remove him/her, If they give the idea they will give me crap they get shot.

We had that thread about Granny with the shotgun who had a run in with a census worker and was killed by police.

Waving a gun at the police is never a good idea, but maybe she thought they were on her side.

Folks, remember, this is the bho administration. Since when have they ever been concerned with what the law actually says?

My guess, and that's all it is, is that the census workers are told they matter over everything else, and do not take No for an answer. The law may have to be sorted out later.

Different issue. A census worker at the door, you either:
A) answer their questions or
B) invite them to leave and shut the door.You do not start waving guns around.
However:
Someone INSIDE your rented home without your permission, you call the cops. Holding them at gunpoint until the police arrive is at your discretion. A census worker ID? Have you ever seen one? I haven't. It could be something an enterprising crook made at Kinkos. If they are in my house without my permission, I'll let the cops figure it out.

I met a census worker the other day.  He held up a card hanging on his neck and had a nifty backpack that read "United States Census"  or something or other.  Nice kid, just out of college, he was looking for the other tenants who'd moved last March.

You're right FQ.  I could have faked a census I.D. on my PC.

Sorry guys. The wife has been a census worker this year and in 2000. She calls BS on this as it has never been taught  in any of the classes she has taken.

I shoot IDPA with a retired engineer who is a census taker. I doubt he would be surprised or startled by someone with a gun here in the South. He might just ask them why they picked that model of shotgun over other brands.  I do not see him violating the rights of another free man/women to get a few numbers for Uncle Sam.

I did ask him if he was going to carry on his travels for Uncle Sam.  His mouth said no but his smile said yes.

Where's the ACLU???

I would love to see the specific "statute, Federal Ordinance, or law".

I don't rent, I own, but it would be something out of Pulp Fiction if I came home and confronted anyone I didn't know, already in my place.

Perhaps this happened to Granny?  The Census Worker left but was persistent in wanting to have the door opened arrived, saw Granny still holding the shot gun and approaching them to explain her side of the story.   Not a wise move by Granny, but reasonable possibility.
