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.

(11,366 posts)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.

(22,052 posts)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.

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

(19,204 posts)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!

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!
