I'm sure if a president really insisted, he probably can carry if he wanted to. The president wasn't allowed to carry a cell phone until Obama insisted.

There is a tale, that while attending a party held by the ruler of Turkey Teddy Roosevelt stuck a .32 into his waistband without a holster. During the party, the pistol worked loose and and down the pants leg to clatter noisily onto the marble floor.
It wasn't the cell phone that the Secret Service had a problem with, it was his Blackberry, which they consider to be a security problem.
I'm left-handed and wear my watch on my right wrist, but I know a few south paws that wear theirs on their left wrist.
