“IIRC, he was left handed. Reaching to his left side with his right hand would not have produced a weapon.”

According to the picture below he was right handed.

According to that picture, he would not have been reaching for his left shoulder to produce a weapon.

Maybe he is different, but I’m right handed. If I am referring to notes, I have them in my left hand (old habit so I can make additional notes with my right). He is holding the tablet in his right hand.

Again, everyone is different. Those are well worn gun leathers. Maybe LaVoy wore his holster to the rear of the side seam in his jeans, but that'd be an awkward place for one who spends time in the saddle to get used to wearing a gun. More forward, either along the seam or slighty forward of it (to keep the holster from pressing the seam into your leg all day) would feel more natural to me.

Is that his rig, or a loaner used for the press conference?
