Hiking someplace is an elective. If it's so bad to hike there that you need a long gun, HIKE SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Long guns under no circumstances carry better than a handgun. You may thinks it's faster to unsling a long gun but if it's that easy to unsling it's more than likely not very secure either. A long gun across you back is slow slow to bring into action. The only place to carry a long gun out of the way is........you guessed it, across your back.
Over all it's a horrid idea in 99% of the U.S. Alaska MIGHT be the exception. If you still choose to go forward with this HORRID idea, only hike in areas allowing hunting, carry a hunting licence and a gun/ammo generally used for hunting what ever quarry might be in season. Almost all states have at least one animal in season throughout the year. Coyote is a good example in most states and it wouldn't hurt to invest in a $6 predator call to help plead your case when a game officer gives you the evil eye.
Did I mention that it's a HORRID idea?
