Who says he does not already carry? Concealed means concealed.

Like most politicians, a POTUS has a base he/she has to pander to. The wider the base, the better the chances of being elected.

By carrying openly he would alienate a lot of people. By not acknowledging he is carrying, the gun folks do not seem to mind. Past presidents have been photographed shooting long guns, but I am not aware of any that show a president using a handgun.
