Yep, this is what makes me a conspiracy theorist even though i am just following the facts wherever they lead.

Here's another: If he can take apart that gun lickety split, why didn't he assemble it when he got there. Then just carry it in in a duffle bag or backpack?

And, the thing with the scope is that it is set for firing while standing up. If you lay down to fire it, the scope will be pressed up into your eyeball. It is just something you notice if you go to gun ranges. How people have their rigs set up.

If you are not a stone-blooded killer (psychopath or hardened by experience) you will take a day or two to process before you are able to say anything. Let alone confess. But he could have done so in a babbling way
