What evidence would you possibly have that he did have the gun on him ?
Since he carries both the revolver on hip in a holster, and he carries the semi-auto in a side holster (as you stated and showed a picture of), why wouldn't he at least have the side holster on and the semi-auto in it ?
Just because the FBI says they found it in his pocket doesn't mean it was there. The FBI agents on scene are now being investigated for lying (about the shots fired). Why wouldn't they continue to lie ?
Why would a guy who openly carries using holsters not be wearing a holster and have the gun slipped into a pocket ? It makes no sense, given the situation he was in.
In the video, the other male says "where are the guns". I can't be sure if he meant guns stored in the vehicle, or whether he was referring to the guns being pointed at them just as they prepared to take off.
Is it possible that Finicum did not have his gun in his pocket ? That it was in the vehicle (it was allegedly a gun one of his family (son in law?) gave to him as a present). Is it possible the FBI found it in the vehicle and placed it in his pocket to help cover up for why they shot him ? Even if they just THOUGHT he was pulling a gun ?
It clearly looks like he’s trying unsuccessfully to pull a gun. The way the gun is stuffed in his pocket in the photos they’ve released, it’s easy to see why. It appears that he stuffed it into that white cotton inner pocket, which looks like it may have been sewn into the inside of the denim jacket as a hidden carry pouch, in such a way that the gun was not easy to pull out. I can’t answer for Mr. Finicum as to why he did what he did. All I can do is say that on the video, he clearly is reaching repeatedly inside his left jacket flap or toward his left hip. It’s also invalid to say “well, he always wore a left shoulder holster, so why did he have it in his POCKET this time instead of in his shoulder holster. Maybe he didn’t feel like putting the shoulder holster on. Maybe he wanted them to think he WASN’T armed, which they might have done if they didn’t see his shoulder holster. Speculation about planted guns is just that. It doesn’t match the evidence.
As for the other male in the vehicle, when he says “where are the guns,” he’s likely referring to the guns that were found under the seat of the truck and in the floorboard. This included at least one revolver that was found at his feet as well as a tactical rifle found under the folding rear seat.
