running the command
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1,LeftHanded:1b}
does not summon a left handed mob/entity, even though it can dual-wield.
I am testing for two armor stands with an item in the main hand:
/testfor @e[type=ArmorStand,c=2,r=5] {HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:stick",Count:1b,Damage:0s,tag:{display:{Name:"Key",Lore:["to secret lair..."]}}},{}]}
-why I have to do it this way (not too important):
this command works for both the armorstands, but they are both righthanded and I can't put the item in the other hand, because a player can only put the item in the main hand, so I would need an external command block, which isn't even worst. As you can see, does the command check for an item in the main hand, but if I want a lefthanded and a righthanded one I would need to place another commandblock on another location (the [c=-1] won't work because there are more armorstands in the server than just these two).

@unknown I'm leaving this open as it's kind of odd that they don have it, considering they do have the ArmorItems and HandItems tags
Armor stands do not have a
LeftHandedtag. That's for mobs only.That is not how list detection works. Every record you specify is scanned throughout the entire list on the target. As such, you're looking in both the mainhand and offhand for a stick, as well as both the mainhand and offhand for a compound (which will always return true because there will always be compounds for
HandItems, even when there's no data within).
