You anticipated the fact that you were armed could become known as you worked closely together - and it did.
Since you had already shown that was OK, the officers didn't need to investigate further.
I seriously doubt you would have been jacked up or cavity searched if you hadn't offered the info up front but you successfully avoided a potentially awkward moment.
Kudos on your good judgement and an equally suitable outcome.
good judgement, good outcome.
