This would be no more than a class C misdemeanor.
This is still enough to make it illegal for you to have a pistol in the car. Note that the law says engaged in criminal activity other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic.

In other words, running a red light or speeding won't make it unlawfully carrying, but posting illegal signs, making unreasonable noise (disorderly conduct), theft, etc. will make it unlawfully carrying.
