Even if he could, I seriously doubt that Obama would even consider carrying.

You would think back in the old days, the President that is pro gun would be packing.

I think the current setup works well. An unarmed president represents our willingness to work things out peacefully, his heavily armed bodyguards represent our capability for a more forceful alternative.

Just because you are armed, doesn't mean you are not willing to work things out. You're looking too deeply

I would highly doubt that the Secret Service these days would allow the President to carry a gun, if for no other reason than it would be a gun in the vicinity of the President which they were not in control of.
