There were a total of 554 homicides for ALL of Canada for the most recent data year (2010). Fairly low for a country of ~35 million. Some cities in the USA get somewhat close to that figure by themselves.
As a gun owner, I have never really felt the need for a CCW. Not sure I'd get one even if they were legal to the average Joe. Even living just 1.5 miles from Detroit MI and their high crime rate, our city didn't have a murder for 2 years, and the 1st murder of 2012 happened in May. We have 2 murders for the year thus far.
Not sure I'd feel the same about not having a CCW in some US cities though.
