When you stop, you can't carry a gun on your person, signs or no. When you stop, you're no longer traveling.

Mind you, I do prefer the (probably mythical) ruling attributed to Roy Bean: "If he's moving, he's traveling. If he's not moving, he ain't carrying. Case dismissed!"

:grin:

Of course, legend has it that he fined a corpse for carrying a weapon... the fine being --oh, so coincidentally!-- exactly what was found in his pockets.
