Military personnel are not permitted to carry service weapons in public locations, and citizens have responded.
Charles Gerhardt, a self-described Marine veteran expressed his condolences Friday, at the U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Center outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. In North Carolina, two veterans are standing outside a Charlotte Army recruiting center.
