Here in Arizona, if I'm stopped by the police and they run a license check on me, they will see that I hold a CCW permit. It's good for them in case I'm driving drunk or talking suicidal or on the wrong end of a high-speed chase. The police deserve to have all the information they can get when dealing with a potential bad guy.
If they treat you any differently in any of those cases because you don't have a CCW they are stupid and letting their families down.

They certainly do and get it when they run your plates, including your arrest record, if any. I'm just saying that not knowing you have a CCW doesn't affect their safety one bit, so they have no need to know.
Do you mean after the hypothetical high speed chase they find out you have a CCW and then relax, realizing you are one of the good guys after all? Then if they find your gun they will not see it as a threat because they know you are not a criminal?
Certainly you are not suggesting that a CCW holder is a higher threat to an officer than a non CCW holder.
