It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults or even advocates attacking a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
Incidentally, the typical Jehovah's Witness knocks at hundreds of doors each year. He has already experienced degrading behavior from householders, some of whom: stand there naked, mimic Satanists, proposition lewd acts, brandish weapons, sic dogs, scream profanities, accuse crimes, and call Witnesses anti-American (inside the USA) or pro-American (outside the USA).
Fascists have called Witnesses "communists". Communists have called Witnesses "fascists".
Haven't you ever heard of 'hedging your bets'? Simple risk vs. reward analysis should make anyone very reluctant to abuse these ministers.
(Acts 5:38,39) I say to you, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
Jehovah's Witnesses are going to knock on your door unless you specifically and unequivocally tell them that you do not want them knocking, or if they fear for their own safety. Nothing else will really deter them, so you would be going to a lot of effort to accomplish nothing but pleasing Satan.
Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?
(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

Get a big dog or this:
How to Install A Home Security System
Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines.
Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.
Leave a note on your door that reads: Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood.
PS - I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

The best way to learn what to do to stop them is to contact a synagogue and talk to the Rabbi. Ask him how the ancient Jews got rid of the Christian Jews when they came around to their doors telling them that the beliefs, rituals, and holiday observances that they have followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid? I’m sure they had ways to get rid of the members of cult started by a man that had no formal religious education, and whose follows also had not formal education. Clearly they were brainwashed. Saul of Tarsus, a highly educated individual, proved they were false and that Jews needed to fight their false teachings, with all their strength.
So, just take a lesson from the ancient Jews. What worked for them against the Christian cult should work against the Jws.

I don't know if such a thing is available. Will they honor a sign that says "No visits from the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses"? That is worth a try.

instead of punching, you may want to try telling them to put you on their 'do not call list'. You could also ask them about the latest information on the pedophile and molestation scandal going on in the JW organization. Or maybe, ask them for their address so you can come to their house and wake them up in the morning and preach about your beliefs to them. Mentioning that you have apostate parties for ex-JWs would probably scare them away for awhile too.

You don't have to have a glove that punches them LOL. I got rid of them by telling them they are wasting their time talking to me. I told them we both believe in 2 different religions. I know they are not going to convert me and I'm not going to convert them. They should be out there knocking on someone elses' door who needs to hear the word of GOD who doesn't attend church. I have never saw them since.

Calm down big guy.
They read! Put a note by the doorbell or where they'd knock, that works.
