See my hometown is where the saying come and take it came from. First shot of Texas Independence. The Mexican army was trying to take back a post size cannon they gave my hometown Gonzalez Tx. It was the only real line of defense we had to fight the Apaches. The Mexican army wanted it back because Mexico was trying to take back the Texas territory. But we said you want it? COME AND TAKE IT!
it was Texas first stand against Mexico which lead up to the Alamo.
It is literally EVERYWHERE in my hometown. And never said that's where it came from. What I was saying was the true meaning of the saying is to mean I need this to protect me. You have no right to take it just so you can use it against me. So you will have to fight me to get it. I will not go easily.
