Right-wing hosts like Sean Hannity get paid to pitch guns as a way to survive a mass shooting
Right-wing radio hosts such as Sean Hannity and Mark Levin have been acting as paid pitch people for a company that promises to help train members on how to use guns to survive a mass shooting. Hannity has been especially vocal about the company and used the recent Las Vegas mass shooting to shill for it on his radio program.
The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is a pro-gun company that sells membership plans featuring education, training, and self-defense insurance for gun owners. It also criticizes attempts to enact gun control laws and publishes Concealed Carry Magazine. The group claims to have over 250,000 members and has attempted to grow its membership over the years through numerous advertising buys with conservative media.
Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Ben Shapiro are all part of the associations latest advertising campaign for a 100% FREE Complete Concealed Carry & Family Defense Guide, which includes tips on how to survive a mass shooting and the safest AND most dangerous places to sit in a restaurant (the sign-up takes people to a page that urges them to pay for a membership).

I would guess a good many guests were armed not to mention the armed security.
Who needs training when a hail of bullets rain down on you in the dark?
