I just drop the mag and put both the mag and pistol in my glove compartment. I carry condition 3 so I'm not always loading/unloading it. Sometimes I don't bother and just leave it in the holster. I have been unable to find a definition in the law of "concealed". The recent AG opinions say "not in plain view" or something. A special investigator at the AG office I spoke with a couple weeks ago said that "concealed" was "in a container that completely encloses the firearm." So, take all that for what it's worth. I'm not a lawyer.
Some relevant info from this page:

"(a) No city or county shall adopt any ordinance, resolution or regulation, and no agent of any city or county
shall take any administrative action, governing the purchase, transfer, ownership, storage or transporting of
firearms or ammunition, or any component or combination thereof. Except as provided in subsection (b) and
subsection (a) of K.S.A. 2009 Supp. 75-7c11, and amendments thereto, any such ordinance, resolution or
regulation adopted prior to the effective date of this 2007 act shall be null and void.
(4) prohibit a city or county from adopting an ordinance, resolution or regulation requiring a firearm
transported in any air, land or water vehicle to be unloaded and encased in a container which completely
encloses the firearm or any less restrictive provision governing the transporting of firearms, provided such
ordinance, resolution or regulation shall not apply to persons licensed under the personal and family
protection act. "
"4. If the language “immediate control of a person” in K.S.A. 12-16,124(b)(2) includes
carrying a firearm in a vehicle, does this include the glove compartment or under
the seat?
Answer: As noted above, the area in “immediate control” of an occupant of a vehicle is
the area within “reaching distance” of that person.5
By this standard, a glove
compartment or the area beneath a seat would likely be considered within the
immediate control of an occupant of a vehicle. K.S.A. 2010 Supp. 12-16,124 does not
define “concealed,” so we apply the ordinary meaning of the word, which is “kept from
sight or view.”6
A firearm stored under a seat or inside a glove compartment is kept from
sight or view, and thus would be considered a concealed firearm outside the scope of
K.S.A. 2010 Supp. 12-16,124(b)(2)."
