Specifically this video touches on whether a backpack gun would be beneficial in these times with violent protests and such, for potential additional protection. It's not recommending one does this per say, just going over this hypothetical question with options.
Interestingly, I just came across this article today, (and since we started discussing it), figured I'd post it just for anyone's information sake. The author states that you need to stay under barrel lengths of 16" and overall firearm length of 26", but a commentor in the article disputed the barrel length claim, indicating there's no restriction.

Well according to the article, Pistols have length restrictions that keep them pistols and not Short Barreled Rifles (regardless if it's a stock or brace). At least that's my take on what the author is inferring. When I ordered 2 PSA AR lowers ( AR9 & AR15 w/collapsible stocks), my FFL friend asked what I was going to use the AR9 for. I mentioned I had bought a 16" PSA 9mm upper and would put it on that. He said "that's going to make it a SBR". I asked why, since it's not a braced AR9 lower, and he corrected him self saying he forgot it was a Stocked AR9, so I'd be OK. Hence I knew that there must be restrictions/regulations on Pistol AR lengths Vs Rifle AR lengths.

Yup @Bassbob, that’s the correct way to go. I came across 2 separate articles on the net, (3 if you count the one previously), that also said to keep the barrel under 16” for AR pistols. The ATF seems to have classifications depending on length, etc.(Any Other Weapon (AOW), Non-NFA weapon, Firearm), It’s similar to the ATF Classifying the Mossberg Shockwave & Remington TAC13 & TAC 14 “Firearms” and not shotguns, because by their definition, a shotgun must have a stock (instead of the bird head grips these two firearms use). Many people have different interpretations of ATF regs & it’s prudent to do ones research delving into these type of builds as you say.
One of them has a 13” barrel. Maybe it the TAC 13, which is a semi auto. I got both the Shockwave & TAC 14 but both with the detachable magazines. Quicker to load, and with the shockwave, more capacity than the mag tube version.
