	Come and take it - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Come and take it" was a slogan used in the Texas Revolution in 1835.
		As a symbol of defiance, the Texans had fashioned a flag containing the phrase along with a fl star and an image of the cannon.
		In modern times, the "come and take it" flag has been modified and used as a symbol of gun-rights advocates.

	Come and Take It Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Take an old school Chicano, “a neo-hippie pachuco,” a college educated Latina, and a pocho, throw them in the middle of a plot to discover a lost treasure from the days of a legendary corrido, and you have Jim Mendiola’s “Come and Take It Day”.
		Set in Mendiola’s hometown of San Antonio, Texas in the year 2000, the film Come and Take It Day is a close look at four co-workers in a restaurant living in different class structures, coming from opposite Latino mind-sets, and how they perceive each other through their own personal experiences as Mexican Americans.
		In the end, Come and Take It Day is just a good Latino story that will have you questioning your Mexican history and your own personal identity as a Latino.

		There was some parleying, a demonstration by the Mexican cavalry near the town, and considerable yelling and taunting by the Texans, who dared the Mexicans to "come and take it!" echoing the words emblazoned on their newly created flag flying in the breeze.
		With the Come and Take It flag flying, the Gonzales cannon fired, and Captain Castaneda immediately requested a parley, asking why he was being attacked.
		The arms of the infantry soldier are the musket and bayonet; of cavalry and dragoons, the saber, holster pistols and carbine; of the artillery, the field piece, siege gun, and mortar, with side arms.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The Gonzales "come and take it" cannon was a Spanish-made, bronze artillery piece of six-pound caliber.
		The gun was the object of contention in late September and early October 1835 between a Mexican military detachment from Bexar and Anglo-Celtic colonists.
		After the capture of Bexar in December 1835, the cannon remained at the Alamo, where it was one of twenty-one artillery pieces commandeered by the Mexican army upon the recapture of Bexar on March 6, 1836.
