"We had carry conceal permits, now you can conceal carry and open carry. There's a lot more guns I think just being carried in general. And I think people just don't realize what the potential is if they leave it in the car," said Lt. Scott Brunow, Wichita Police. With more Kansans armed now there are more guns left in cars daily across Wichita. While most hide their guns in safe boxes under the seat or in the glove compartment, police say that's not enough.
