Just my opinion, but as far as I can tell, carrying a rifle in a backpack is perfectly legal as long as it's unloaded. And by unloaded, I mean no chambered round, no magazine in the weapon, and ammo (in a mag or not) is stored in a separate compartment of the backpack (such as a different zippered pocket).
I own several short-barrel rifles that I transport to the range in this fashion regularly. Though, anyone walking around the mall/streets immediately draws some attention to themselves. ...
