Gun activists and other citizens continue to stand guard outside of the Armed Forces Career Center on Loudon Road in Concord, according to Brian Blackden, who sent these pictures earlier today.

According to Blackden, citizens have been continuing to show up at the center each day in the wake of the recent attack in Tennessee. One was an off-duty police officer from another part of the state, he said. 

Citizens standing guard around recruiting centers has turned into a national movement. Yesterday, 67 legislators called on Gov. Maggie Hassan to rescind prohibitions placed on New Hampshire National Guardsmen that keep them from legally carrying weapons to protect themselves. On July 17, Hassan ordered flags in the state to be dropped to half-mast in honor of the fallen in Chattanooga. Earlier this week, President Barack Obama issued a proclamation ordering the lowering of flags on all public buildings and grounds to half-staff immediately and until sunset on July 25, in honor of the United States Marines killed.
