The Route 91 Harvest festival is a gun-free zone.

That explains why no one in the crowd of country music fans was shooting back at the mass killer.

[BenLurkin]

Well, it doesn’t look like anybody there would be able to identify the shooter’s location, let alone hit it with a handgun.

[BobinIL]

Nothing would have helped unless you had a 308 sniper rifle in your backpack. This was a well planned out attack.

[TexasFreeper2009]

lol

and this matters why? unless someone had artillery to return fire 30 floors up and over 300 yards away, it wouldn’t have mattered.

[ilovesarah2012]

Thank you for common sense.

[rhc2000]

Is that story serious? Unless Chuck Norris was in the crowd, there’s no way anyone was reaching that hotel window with an handgun.

[jonno]

You don’t fire a HANDGUN towards a hotel to try to hit a perp 100s of yards away.

[backwoods-engineer]

He was 32 floors up - maybe 320 feet or 106 yards above the ground, and I don't know how far away. I am an amateur-level competitive shooter, and I can hit a chest-sized steel plate with a Glock 19 from 50 yards. I have seen with my own eyes a military marksman hit an 8" gong target at 100 yards with a Glock 19, but he did not hit on every shot.

This is not the kind of thing you're going to defend against with a pistol. A rifle was needed, and apparently, none of the security guards had one.

[goodnesswins]

He was 32 stories up...

[RckyRaCoCo]

I don’t think Shifty Powers could have taken this clown down at that distance.

[SandRat]

No, it’s not a gun-free zone, it’s a gun Victim Target zone.

[cyclotic]

So what. No way to shoot back at that distance. I looked up the hotel and found no indication it was a gun free zone.

Most in the crowd probably never even knew the shooter's location, nor could they hit the target with a handgun.

Open concert venues are going to have to set up counter sniper nests methinks. If its good enough for national security events and POTUS, its good enough for cowboys and their little girls at a concert:

[silverleaf]

Doubtful anyone without military training and proper gear could have located and fired at someone shooting out 2 windows on the 32d floor

[Enchante]

ummmm..... maybe also because the shooter was 400 meters away and 32 stories up, not accessible from the concert venue with a handgun....

[George from New England]

Pretty sure that once a hotel takes monies from a renter, that renter can call the room their abode, and the tenant has the right to have a weapon in that room with them during their paid stay.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

If anyone with a handgun was stupid enough to try to shoot back from that range, the odds are great they’d hit the hotel room of an innocent person.

[cyclotic]

That’s what I always assumed as well, and what I have practiced.

But Las Vegas seems to often practice their own brand of hotel rules.

I have to go there once in a while for work. (I absolutely hate the place). When you book a room, they charge the first night immediately and you don’t know if unless you check your credit card statement and catch it. I almost got burned that way for a reimbursement once.

That explains why no one in the crowd of country music fans was shooting back at the mass killer.

Yeah, brilliant idea to start lobbing handgun fire back at a hotel from several hundred yards away.

Asshats.
