I'm an avid hunter and have no issues with handguns for home defense or target shooting, but private citizens carrying in the streets is something you'd expect in Somolia or Chechnya not a G7 nation (or is it G8 now?).

Why do you say that? While we may not be a third world country, that doesn't mean there isn't crime. In fact, there are some areas (particularly in major cities) where crime might be just as bad as some of the seedier places of the world.
Statistically, you are unlikely to ever need to defend yourself with a handgun, but what happens if you are the lucky one that does get attacked and you have nothing to defend yourself with?
I'd rather carry and never have to use it than risk not carrying and becoming a 5-second blurb on the 11-o-clock news.
