There are two variations/interpretations of "Mexican carry": one is with the gun tucked into the waistband of the pants over the rear pocket (concealed carry); the other is with the gun visibly dangling on a lanyard for quick access. Both styles of carry probably were necessitated by the lack of a suitable holster.

Actually I thought it was a third:
pistol on string in front of pants, string keeps pistol from sliding down into pants.

The one in the picture looks like it is suspended from a lanyard,
was probably in hand until the situation deteriorated to that seen.
JMHO.
