In 1831, the Mexican government sent the Texan settlers of Gonzales a small cannon to use for defense against Comanche raids. Four years later, the Mexican government asked for their gun back, and in doing so they made a fundamental mistake. You just don’t ask for Texans to relinquish their weapons, full stop.
Mexico sent 100 dragoons to take the cannon back. The cavalrymen were met by 150 thoroughly pissed off Texans, who killed two of them and drove the rest away. The cannon remains safe and sound in Texas to this day. (We think – it was buried for safety prior to the altercation, although its precise whereabouts remain unknown.)
