In MA, I don't think that they know unless they specifically consult the DB that will tell them. I don't think that it's a big concern around here, and perhaps shouldn't be anywhere, because the folks that have permits aren't the problem. Over a period of forty years or so, I have sat in the front of a police car two or three times, all involving driving an automobile. I was armed on one or two of those occasions, and it really didn't seem to be a matter of concern to anybody.
