In the near future human has started mining on Mars, international treaty governs the use of lethal weapon in space must carry a license. However every spaceship including those single seated carries some sort of ranged firearms, there is no danger of being hijack or abduction in space since only established big companies and wealthy nation can afford any kind of space program. Due to security reason all personnel have to go through thorough screening and checks before permitted to go to space so they should not cause harm to themselves or others, therefore what good reason to have a gun in a spaceship? SETI hasn't find anything so you know and no FTL.

For the same reason some do in real life. Ship (or landing pod) landing isn't perfect so when they arrive back on earth the astronauts need to defend themselves against hostile animals or scavengers.

If you are not worried about Earth Wilderness landing like Leo Adberg has suggested (which is a very good real world answer), then an alternate would be to consider corportate/national espionage...
If there are only the biggest corporations and governments in space then its safe to assuming there is no space police, so if one company decided to hijack another's ship to either steal the presumably cargo, or possible find out what tech the rival company is working on, then its safe to assume the pilots would want to protect themselves.
Writing in that either companies or governments are in a type of cold war as to who can be the front runner in space travel and its not unreasonable to believe that with all the communication dead zones are the system (dark side of the moon for example, at least until china sent there probe a few weeks back) and there's plenty of areas where a ship could get be hijacked without anyone knowing.
Thankfully we've managed to avoid taking warfare to space so far but its not exactly out of character for the human race to do so...
