"The use of the phrase in this context simply indicated to me that the man is familiar with the terminology used by those who train people in the carry of firearms.

Absolutely correct. And, it should be noted that (with the exception of cross-draw configurations (like a shoulder holster) most holsters are designed to be worn on the "strong side".

Further, citizens who take competent courses in handgun use and the (very serious) responsibilities of being armed, are often required to learn to use their "weak side" hand for shooting -- as a survival tactic when the "strong side" is injured or immobilized. (And that is not easy...)

The writer was addressing a forum of knowledgeable, like-minded folks, (on opencarry.org) so he used "insider shop talk shorthand" to covey (to his peers that he was seated such that his sidearm was readily visible.

Your attempt at practicing psychology on FR reveals you to be a nut.

I just think the guy is an ass.

Wife: Let’s go to Chili’s for dinner.
Husband: Sounds good, let me get my gun.
Wife: You’re a stud and that gun proves it.
Husband: I know, and I love the the attention I get from it.
