Molon Labe

Did You Know?

Molon Labe or “come and take them” was reportedly the response King Leonidas gave the Persian army when they demanded they lay down their weapons during the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. Since then several variations of the defiant expression have been used throughout history.

American patriots used “come and take it” during the American Revolutionary War.

Defiant Texans used  “come and take it” during the Texas Revolution.

Molon Labe is also the motto for the United States Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT).

The short but powerful phrase  has become the most popular call of defiance with Second Amendment activists throughout our nation.

MOLON LABE!
