So 2 questions
1. This guy is left handed, so why is his gun on his right hip?
2. Why does he have a gun?
1.
L/H dominant / R/H carry is pretty common - doesnt snag [quite] so easily in the drivers seatbelt, and standard training in law enforcement is to be proficient with non-dominant hand as well as regular hand.
The holster is "riding high and tight" so it is concealed by the wearers coat - but still gives rapid access [think plain clothes police looking like your average businessman]
The "high and tight" holster and the type of hangun he is carrying are also very compact and flat - again giving better concealment and less likely to snag.
Another reason - it could be a "backup" handgun, although these are not so common these days - since modern semi-auto's have greater capacity and faster reloading in comparison to the olde schoole revolvers.
[mind you - with decent training and practice, revolvers can be better than semi's]
2.
This was an "ice breaker", filmed at the opening of a firearms training course for either police or security personell - the type of people who are expected to carry weaponry during thier working hours [and often after hours as well]
