SAN ANTONIO – Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fpolitics&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Jerry+Patterson%22), a gun-toting Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is to headline a gun-rights rally Saturday on the state-owned Alamo grounds, where demonstrations historically have been banned — until Patterson's office took over the shrine.
The rally, billed as “Come and Take It San Antonio!” will be held on the 4.2-acre Alamo complex, which has been under the custodianship of the Texas General Land Office (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fpolitics&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Texas+General+Land+Office%22) since 2011.
Patterson, a gun-rights advocate who wrote the state's concealed weapons law that took effect in 1996, is to be the keynote speaker.
An event flier circulated on the Internet accuses Police Chief William McManus (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fpolitics&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22William+McManus%22) and the Police Department of “harassing” gun owners after three men with guns at a local Starbucks were charged Aug. 24 with disorderly conduct.
