Am I right, MR?
MR comments:
In a peaceful journey situation, when passing through a less than gun friendly state, the firearms must remain in the vehicle and - depending on the state - with ammo securely stored separate and apart from firearm and magazine.
As soon as they exited their vehicles if they still had pistols strapped on, and did not have a carry license for that state, or a reciprocal agreement with their home state, they were breaking the law.
Same with exiting with loaded long guns once you have exited it depends on the laws of that state. So yes they probably were violating state firearm laws.

I have to wonder why they were traveling (if it was, indeed, the case) in full tactical gear? That stuff is weighted, unwieldy, and if heading out for training, best donned in the field. It would also seem prudent to notify local and regional authorities if group training is taking place, even on private land - to avoid any misunderstanding or unfortunate accident based on misinterpretation of the event.
My guess is it was a legal arrest. And if they fled with weapons strapped on, that seems problematic for law enforcement from a safety standpoint for their own officers.
