Despite the PITA factor, I know I'd carry a rifle in addition to a concealed handgun if a bunch of other people carried rifles openly. The minimum would be a rifle and spare mags in my truck, and a pistol either open or concealed, depending on the situation. I would do that now, except that state and work rules prevent me from doing so.
I think the only way that socially acceptable rifle carry would be realistic is during some kind of major unrest, disaster, or disruption in the normal order of our society, which would change everything, especially our routines and perceived threat level.
