Armed residents have taken to guarding military recruitment centers across the nation, including in Gainesville, after a deadly attack on Marines at a recruiting office in Chattanooga, Tenn., earlier this month. “We have seen the same, local armed individuals standing guard outside the recruiting center,” said Gainesville Police spokesman Kevin Holbrook. Soldiers are barred from carrying firearms inside the centers.
