I don't carry just for the two-legged critters, and a crime-free world won't change the occasional need to shoot a four-legged critter.

I would carry because it would be cool to have some on the spot target practice!

If there was no chance of crime, and no chance of being attacked by dogs, or other animals. I guess I'd have to say no, as there would be no need then. But, that's not possible so the gun is always on me or within reach.

You read my mind.
Having drawn a gun on charging dogs in the past, I don't want to give up that ability.

I wouldn't.
Carry is a drag, literally.
Holster, gun, spare magazine if not two, magazine holster, knife, OC/CS, planning my clothing and body motions as related to a given outing & situation amongst the public, being and staying 'aware' of my surroundings, ongoing study and analysis of multiple state & local gun, carry, and civilian defense laws, constant ongoing training, continuing education as related to defensive handgun/shotgun/rifle skill$, maintaining membership$ at multiple indoor and outdoor ranges, hunting down and purchasing ammunition which is no longer Budweiser priced, quarterly 'discussions' with my wife about why do I "walk around wearing a gun", having to tell my kids and deal with crying when I say no we can't stop at some random K-12 school to play in their playground...because daddy is carrying and it's unlawful to posses on or about school grounds.
I could continue but you get where I'm going.
Carry and the responsibility that comes with it is a drag.
If such a hypothetical world were truly existent and sustainable, which it isn't not even in comics and fairy tales (!), then yes I would trade in my weapons and all my gear tomorrow and be done with the aggravation.
I wouldn't miss them either. I'd not mind spending my time,money, and brain power/overhead on something other than sharpening my claws and postulating from which direction would I predate myself if I were a predator.
To me and my mind guns are little more than tools.
Tools as a means to a stop or survive crime against my person end.
