I think you were right to tell him since he owns the restaurant, but unless he has a solid reason why, he shouldn't have shared that info with anybody.
Stay cool. calmly explain that if a robber came in and employees all start to look/stare/glance at you expecting you to "make your move" (because they think you are armed) ... it could endanger your life more than necessary and that's at least one reason concealed is concealed. It could be a situation you choose to do nothing, and not play "Batman"; but if they accidentally "out you" ... you, and everyone there, may have real problems.
(I explained this way to my niece once, when telling her to not inform her friends.)
I, and the other 2 employees were robbed once by 2 guys in a store, if I'd have "made my move" prior to knowing there was a second armed robber, it wouldn't have ended well; we gave them the $200 in the register, and they left.
