Could you provide a link to where it states it is illegal?

Keep in mind there are no laws to say if something is legal. There are only laws to say if something is _illegal_.

I can not find ANYTHING in Article 265 of NYS Penal Code (the one that deals w/ guns/firearms/weapons) that pertains to carrying of a rifle or shotgun in a concealed manner.  
You WILL see laws that say it is unlawful to carry a loaded firearm unless you are licensed to do so, but here is NYS’s definition of a firearm:

> 1. “Firearm” means (a) any pistol or revolver; or (b) a shotgun having  
> one or more barrels less than eighteen inches in length; or (c) a rifle  
> having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in length; or (d)  
> any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle whether by alteration,  
> modification, or otherwise if such weapon as altered, modified, or  
> otherwise has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches; or (e)  
> an assault weapon. For the purpose of this subdivision the length of the  
> barrel on a shotgun or rifle shall be determined by measuring the  
> distance between the muzzle and the face of the bolt, breech, or  
> breechlock when closed and when the shotgun or rifle is cocked; the  
> overall length of a weapon made from a shotgun or rifle is the distance  
> between the extreme ends of the weapon measured along a line parallel to  
> the center line of the bore. Firearm does not include an antique  
> firearm.
