Atticus thinks that hunting isn't something right, because God gave him an unfair advantage on the animals; for this reason he decide to stop using guns.

"maybe he put his gun down when he realized that God had given him an unfair advantage over most living creatures. I guess he decided he wouldn't shoot till he had to."(last pages of chapter 10)

Atticus stopped carrying a gun because he believes that using violence, even in self-defense, is not the answer to solving problems. He wants to set an example for his children by teaching them the importance of empathy and understanding rather than resorting to violence. Atticus also realizes that using a gun goes against his own values and principles.

Atticus was a near perfect shot, but he decided not to shoot anymore years before the story begins. He decides this because he feels he has an unfair advantage over nature by having the gift of marksmanship.
