Another article I read on it indicates that at least one of the rifles was in a rifle carrying case. Said nothing of the pistols though. Allegedly, the guy had had the guns worked on and was preparing for a hunting trip.
Of course, none of the news reports I have read indicate how he was unlawfully carrying said arms, as he was so charged.

DENVER—A man who tried to carry two hunting rifles and two pistols into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's downtown hotel remained in police custody Sunday.
Pelosi and other guests briefly left the hotel during the Saturday incident but were never in danger, Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said.
The man, Joseph Calanchini, 29, of Pinedale, Wyo., faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case at the entrance and detained him.
Wiley said he didn't know if the weapons were loaded.
"The speaker was never in any danger and she appreciates the quick and professional response of the police," said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly.
