When carrying wallet is in the left pocket (opposite my gun)
When not carrying wallet is in my right pocket.
Several reasons.
1: It's another reminder I’m carrying vs not.
2: it means I can reach for my wallet and toss to a BG as a distraction while still having my strong side ready to draw, defend, work an edged weapon.
3: if I have to get ID for a LEO, and I have told them I’m armed and where it is... I’m reaching with the off hand to the off side away from the gun.. I hope that is better for the LEP's sense of security.
I do exactly the same thing.
I carry a very small wallet. Credit card pouch on one side, clear window for DL on the other. DL, insurance and CHL are sandwiched in the clear window side.
I can pull out my DL , Ins and CHL all at the same time.
When carrying, Wallet in left front pocket, gun in right front pocket. (unless I am carrying the .45 at which point he will just think I am left handed.)
BG comes, I say here! take my cell phone and wallet! reach into both pockets. Wallet comes out of left pocket first and I accidently drop it. LCP comes out of right pocket. (or wallet gets dropped and the .45 gets pulled from my right side holster)

Edit: Why do I carry my wallet in my front pocket? Two years ago, age 38, I got out of bed in the morning, tried to stand up and fell flat on my butt. Scared the hell out of me. Went to the Dr. ASAP. He said it was sciatica. Moved my wallet to my front pocket and it has never happened since.
