If they ban firearms, isn't that a contradiction in terms? The Alamo was defended my Texicans who carried arms (long, pistol, big knives, etc.). Texas would be a sleepy northern province of Mexico, if it wasn't for a bunch of folks carrying arms.

How can Texas have such short memories!? Personally, I blame the northerners.

Here is the reply I received today:

Dear Mr. S----,

CHL holders may carry firearms on the Alamo complex. If you read the
currently posted rules and regulations when you visit, you may see the
outdated version that requests CHL holders to store their weapons in the
Ranger Office for the duration of their Alamo visit. You can ignore that
because it is no longer valid (if it ever was). New signs with the revised
rules and regulations are currently being made. The new rule prohibits only
unlicensed firearms.

Enjoy your visit,

Vince Phillips
Chief, Alamo Rangers
