They did answer my email, they never give permission. Also said they had no way to stop it since our streets are open to the public. Her suggestion was not to purchase anything from them.
On a side note I did stop a guy from breaking into a neighbors house some years ago, did not have my firearm with me so I retreated to my house to give a good description to the sheriff department (they took about one hour to respond). That was the last time I went out without my firearm.

That's how I do it also, day or night if we don't recognize someone at our door we don't answer it.

It's not gated but there is a sign before you enter the neighborhood. When he said he had permission I didn't believe him.

I always wear concealed whenever I leave my house, even when walking across the street to check my mail. By concealed I mean partial because I'm using Alien Gear iwb and the grip shows. Yesterday while working in my driveway I see two guys (one about 35 the other maybe 20) going door to door. In our neighborhood there is a "no solicitation" sign coming into our area. These guys come up my driveway and the older one says don't worry we are not trying to change your religion. Then he asked me and my wife what are names are, my wife says we don't give our names to strangers. The younger one is carrying some kind of papers and starts his spiel while taking out some papers. I told them there is no solicitation in our neighborhood, the older one said they had permission (which I highly doubt). I told them we didn't have time, they realized that was the end of their time with us. As they are walking away the younger one says "we better leave before he shoots me". When I first saw them coming I had turned my body so they couldn't have seen my weapon. As soon as I got in the house I sent an email to my homeowners association, wanting to know if they ever give permission to soliciatate, being its the weekend I don't expect a response until Monday.
