As for trappers and guides feeling the need to carry I think a regular 12 guage is more effective than any sidearm will ever be.
At one time you were allowed to make your own decisions on whether to pack or not. That is what a lot of us in Canada advocate for too, the freedom to choose. We are not discussing type of firearm in this thread, we are discussing the carrying of sidearms.
