That is the million dollar question (no pun intended, given that it was a Vegas casino hotel). Is it possible to disassemble such guns and put them back together? I don't know anything about guns. But if it were possible, he could have put the parts in a backpack or regular luggage, then put them back together. ??
If the report is +/-20 long guns in the hotel room, it is nothing to carry that amount in 3-4 duffel bags. If he had some kind of extended residency, he could bring a bag a day and no one would notice.
This theory that I keep seeing on FR that it’s impossible to smuggle that many guns undetected is laughable.
Go to a Las Vegas hotel during a major trade show or convention. There are vendors wheeling around packed exhibits and cases of materials and products all over those hotels. Over the course of 3-4 days you could easily wheel plenty of carts into your room without attracting any attention at all.
“Is it possible to disassemble such guns and put them back together? “
In the case of an AR: Yes.
An AR has an “upper” and a “lower”. There’s a pin forward and above the magazine well and one behind and above the safety lever. Push these pins out (they don’t go all the way out) and the upper and lower separate.
You could put 8-10 disassembled AR’s in the kind of large soft sided rolling luggage you see in about any airport. You’d put loaded magazines in other luggage. Or empty ones, in which case you’d have cases of ammunition which would be heavy but relatively small, and load the magazines in the room while you watch porn.
