Meeting them outside is not tactically sound, but going out your back door, walking around your house, and walking up behind them on your porch while being armed with a slung M4 type AR or a slung Remington 870 12 gauge while wearing a Pancho Villa type bandolier full of 30 round magzaines or buckshot would get the message across

The OP did the right thing. Good Job.

The vast majority of unpermitted door to door scammers are there to do something other than sell magazine subscriptions. They are casing your house for future burglaries or if you do buy something from them they can use the personal information you provide to steal your identity.

By notifying local law enforcement and getting the marijuana smoking public speaker in training arrested, it sent a message to the other scammers that if you try that in this neighborhood there will be consequences. It is always better to be proactive than to come home to a house void of all valuable possessions. Most of the scams perpetrated at the street level could be the bottom rung of a much taller ladder to fund bigger things up to and including international terrorism.
