I have a feeling walking around NOLA carrying a shotgun would have been a good way to get shot by the cops.

Not from what I heard. Not when it was really out of control, anyway. I saw ample cases where citizens' patrols formed up and at least attempted (in some cases they did pretty well) to take control of their neighborhoods and businesses, and those patrols were openly armed with rifles and shotguns. I saw the same sort of thing in the Rita aftermath, too. It is, after all, a big part of the idea of the citizens' militia and as such is a big reason for the existence of the 2nd Amendment in the first place.

A 4" .357 and a compact lever gun with a 16" barrel in the same caliber.

Not a bad combo, not a bad idea at all. In more open country, that lever carbine would rank right up there at the top of my long gun list. I only leaned towards the shotgun because it was an urban environment. Here in suburbia, it would be a toss-up between the 2.
