WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — U.S. Senate candidate and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach reported that he had four guns stolen from his pickup truck that was parked at a Wichita hotel.

Officers responded to a call from Kobach around 11:30 a.m. Saturday at a hotel parking garage, Wichita police said. Investigators believe someone broke into Kobach's pickup overnight and took a rifle, two shotguns and a handgun.

A spokeswoman for the Republican's campaign said he was in Wichita for a campaign event and had the long guns with him for a scheduled shooting event.

Campaign spokeswoman Danedri Herbert said Kobach also “always has at least one firearm with him for personal protection.”

1. Who did he shoot the night before? I smell a rat!

[elleng]

2. 'for a scheduled shooting event.'

'for personal protection.' He sure as hell needs it.

[ck4829]

3. Are we sure THIS isn't how it went down?

[Hoyt]

4. "Responsible Gun Owners" is a myth.

[Alacritous Crier]

11. Yup.

[ret5hd]

5. Another responsible gun owner!

So, since he always carries, he had at least one in his room, correct?

Where’s it at?

[Skittles]

6. why the FUCK does anyone need FOUR GUNS in their pickup?

what a gun humping piece of shit he is

[mwb970]

7. I am always struck by how STUPID people who act like this look.

Kobach AND trump both have that dull-witted, low-IQ look that drives me crazy. And who needs to carry FOUR GUNS around? I don't get these people.

[PJMcK]

8. Aren't there well-known protocols for handling and storing firearms?

I'm sure I've read somewhere that you lock your firearms in a safe or with a trigger lock. And the ammunition is supposed to be kept locked in another place.

Why would Kobach keep four guns in his pickup truck? That sounds like profoundly poor judgment. The fact that they were stolen proves my point.

I sure wouldn't vote for him.

[Hoyt]

12. Yes, and every gun-humper says they are responsible, right up til their grandchild

shots himself playing with one of those properly stored gunz.

[rickford66]

9. Were they registered ?

If not, can we believe him ? He could have given them to some right wing militia.

[Mz Pip]

10. Shit for brains

Who leaves anything of value in their car overnight?

Now there are 4 more guns in the hands of criminals. Way to go Kobach.

[Doug.Goodall]

13. What did his insurance claim say?

I bet it said they were very expensive guns. He probably included expensive accessories on the claim too. Of course what he said is true; if you don't believe it, just check the police report.

[Lulu KC]

14. This cracks me up

What an oaf.

[SergeStorms]

15. Maybe he should invest in a gun safe...

so he doesn't have to drive around with so many guns in his stupid truck. You know some of those guns were in plain sight, so he was inviting someone to break into his truck. Jackass!

[Aussie105]

16. 4 guns?

One to shoot in front, one to shoot left, one to shoot right, one to shoot . . . up?

Makes sense, really. You never know which direction those Zombies will attack from!

I bet they were loaded, and plenty of ammo in the car too.

What a find!
